Drink pairing tips

  • A great drink pairing for berry pancake

  • The perfect match for bacon and maple syrup pancake

    When having bacon and maple syrup pancake, experts suggest you pair it with a glass of americano, a popular coffee.

  • Tokaji and apple and cinnamon filled crepe


    If your food palns include Pancakes, then you should consider helping it along with some dessert wine. We find that a Tokaji, with its hits of fruit, serves as the best pairing to the dish.
