Wine Advice:
This versatile homemade maple syrup pairs well with a variety of wines. For a classic breakfast pairing, consider a sparkling wine like Prosecco or Champagne to complement the sweetness. If using the syrup as a glaze for meats or drizzled over desserts, a medium-bodied white wine, such as Chardonnay, can be a delightful choice. Enjoy experimenting with different pairings based on how you plan to use the maple syrup.
