HOMEMADE ENGLISH MUFFINS P. 116

ADD A BOTTLE During the week, tea or coffee is the best partner to a toasted English muffin slathered with melting butter and jam. For a leisurely weekend brunch, how ever, you might want to pair it with Quails’ Gate Chardonnay ( VINTAGES ESSENTIALS 377770, $26.95 ). The gently oaked white from B.C. has complementary buttery notes, and it’s the perfect match should the muffin play a sup porting role in Eggs Benedict. GIFT WITH: Grass-fed butter, locally made jam, vintage butter knife.
