We’re excited to share that lifestyle expert and chef Ashton Keefe recently featured Bread & Butter Wines on PIX11, one of New York City’s major news stations, during a special segment focused on easy Mother’s Day brunch recipes and wine pairings.

During the segment, Ashton prepared her flavorful Sausage and Asparagus Quiche, pairing it with our Bread & Butter Chardonnay — a rich, creamy California Chardonnay that beautifully complements brunch favorites. Whether you’re planning a Mother’s Day brunch menu, hosting spring gatherings, or simply looking for the perfect Chardonnay food pairing, this recipe and wine combination delivers effortless entertaining inspiration.

Why Bread & Butter Chardonnay is Perfect for Mother’s Day Brunch

Bread & Butter Chardonnay is known for its approachable style and balanced flavor profile, making it an easy choice for brunch wine pairings. Crafted in California, this Chardonnay features notes of tropical fruit, vanilla bean, and toasted oak layered with a creamy texture and bright finish. It’s an ideal pairing for Mother’s Day recipes, spring brunch spreads, and relaxed weekend entertaining.

As Ashton shared during the PIX11 segment, Bread & Butter Chardonnay reflects the approachable philosophy of our winemaker Linda Trotta, who always says, “A good wine is a wine that you like.” It’s a simple reminder that wine doesn’t need to feel complicated — especially when celebrating Mother’s Day. Whether Mom loves a rich California Chardonnay, sparkling prosecco, or something entirely different, the best bottle to bring to the table is the one she genuinely enjoys.
