Our Deviled Egg Recipes and Sutter Home Pinot Grigio Make for Eggscellent Pairings

A welcome addition to any appetizer table, these heavenly tasting deviled eggs are a classic dish with origins that trace back to ancient Rome. Deviled eggs were such an everyday part of entertaining for the Romans that they had a saying, “ab ova usque ad mala.” Translated to “from eggs to apples,” the phrase was meant to signify the beginning of a meal to the end.

The term “devil” has slightly newer origins, however, with the first known printed mention as a culinary term appearing in Great Britain in 1786. The designation caught on as a reference to many dishes that included hot ingredients or were highly seasoned. How cool (or should we say hot) is that fact? Today, home cooks experiment with a variety of fillings, such as pickles, dill, bacon, crab meat, Sriracha, kimchi, wasabi, and caviar.

No matter how you enjoy preparing your little “devils,” one thing is certain: Our crisp and refreshing Sutter Home Pinot Grigio, with its juicy pear and light bright apple flavor, makes for the perfect complement.
