Brunch can be blah, but the new 19 Crimes Brunch menu from meal planning service eMeals raises the bar from ordinary to extraordinary. This inspired spring spread for eight features wines from 19 Crimes Wines collaborators Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart paired with a menu that blends the tastes of the entertainment Icon and the lifestyle guru, creating the brunch equivalent of a mixtape that will receive loud applause from your guests.
19 Crimes turned convicts into colonists. In 18th-century Britain, criminals guilty of at least one of the 19 Crimes were sentenced to live in Australia, rather than death. For the rough-hewn prisoners who made it to shore, a new world awaited. As pioneers in a frontier penal colony, 19 Crimes wines celebrate the rebellious spirit of the more than 160,000 exiled men and women that forged a new culture and national spirit in Australia. Today, 19 Crimes continues to celebrate that spirit by partnering with modern day culture creators and innovators. In 2020, 19 Crimes collaborated with entertainment icon Snoop Dogg to launch Cali Red, the # 1 selling single wine in IRI’s New Product Pacesetter history and Cali Rose, the #1 Wine Innovation of 2021. The highly successful partnership prompted 19 Crimes to collaborate with tastemaker Martha Stewart to launch the #1 Wine Innovation of 2022, Martha’s Chard.
Available free on eMeals’ 19 Crimes Brunch landing page or in the Occasions Plan in the eMeals app for subscribers, the plan spans six recipes and five wines including two new vins from The Doggfather. The feast includes:
- Homemade Honey Buns, a do-it-yourself version of the vending machine pastry that melts in your mouth with honey-infused dough, a cinnamon filling and a powdered sugar glaze
- Billionaire’s Bacon, spicy/sweet/savory strips straight from Snoop’s “Crook to Cook” cookbook that are coated in brown sugar, red pepper flakes and black pepper, then baked on a rack to keep crisp
- Greens and Grit Cakes, a variation of the Southern staple featuring cheesy grit cakes topped with creamed spinach, tomato slice and poached egg, then garnished with microgreens
- Veggie Frittata, a 12-egg comfort dish laced with mushrooms, onion, spinach, bell peppers, grape tomatoes, Swiss cheese and fresh thyme
- Berries and Spring Mix Salad, combining spring greens, strawberries and blackberries with toasted almonds and a sweet shallot vinaigrette
- Spiced Home Fries with Onions and Peppers, a mix of cubed Yukon gold potatoes, onions and peppers tossed with olive oil and rosemary and baked until crisp
Wine pairings include 19 Crimes Snoop Cali Gold and Snoop Cali Blanc (Snoop’s new sparkling wine and Sauvignon Blanc-based wines, respectively), 19 Crimes Snoop Cali Rosé (named the #1 wine innovation of 2021), and 19 Crimes Martha’s Chard and Martha’s Lighter Chard (the #1 wine innovation of 2022 and 19 Crimes’ first lower-alcohol wine, both created in concert with the self-made lifestyle icon and businesswoman).
