If you don&#8217;t care for their suggestions, choose a wine that you like.<\/p>\n<p>For Easter dinner, our main entree will be honey-glazed ham served with mashed potatoes, perhaps made Rachel Ray&#8217;s style, and of course butternut squash. We are considering a white wine and for dessert, the dessert Riesling we recently made from a kit. Ham can also be paired with East Coast Cabernet Sauvignon or a Pinot Noir. White wines to consider are Gew\u00fcrztraminer or a dry Riesling. If you enjoy meads, you may want to choose a dry mead. Fruit wine lovers should consider a cranberry wine.<\/p>\n<p>One suggestion is not to wait until Easter Sunday to purchase your wine. Numerous winery tasting rooms will be closed for this special day.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers, Kathy<\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"owbutton\" src=\"http:\/\/www.onlywire.com\/button\" title=\"Wine for Easter Dinner\" url=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/?p=1145\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Easter only a week away, consider what wine you will be serving with dinner.
