Recipe: The yummiest French toast… and it’s vegan! | I Married an Omnivore! Animal-friendly French toast with maple syrup One of my favorite breakfast foods is French toast.

Valeriano is like a big bloody steak (and this is coming from a vegetarian!). It's bold, structured and tannic with flavors of summer cherries, currants and leather. But it's also quite balanced, so it pairs nicely with food. But you're going to need a strong dish like this pizza to stand next to the Valeriano. It's no secret, we love pizza.
