The Russian sturgeon has beautiful diamond spurs on its dorsal and sides of its body; yet its distinctive short, rounded snout and split lower lip is what makes it so recognizable from other species. Calvisius is one of only three farms in the world to raise the coveted Oscietra Imperial Gold, a species indigenous to the Caspian sea. It boasts a buttery and rich profile, with a nutty, creamy flavor so prized that it sets the standard in caviar. Its seductive round umami flavors of pine nuts, fresh pecans, light aromas of hazelnuts, and a touch of seafoam brine beautifully match the delicate and fine bubbles of the iconic Taittinger Comtes de Champagne. As their t\u00eate de cuvee, the Comtes is a complex reflection of Taittinger\u2019s house style and offers the perfect maturity and finesse to match the Imperial Gold.<\/p>\n<h1>OYSTERS<\/h1>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6133 alignright lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/brittany-steiner-xKuh9pUR6As-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"475\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/brittany-steiner-xKuh9pUR6As-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/brittany-steiner-xKuh9pUR6As-unsplash-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/brittany-steiner-xKuh9pUR6As-unsplash-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/brittany-steiner-xKuh9pUR6As-unsplash-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/brittany-steiner-xKuh9pUR6As-unsplash-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/brittany-steiner-xKuh9pUR6As-unsplash-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/brittany-steiner-xKuh9pUR6As-unsplash-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/brittany-steiner-xKuh9pUR6As-unsplash-175x263.jpg 175w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/brittany-steiner-xKuh9pUR6As-unsplash-450x675.jpg 450w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/brittany-steiner-xKuh9pUR6As-unsplash-1170x1755.jpg 1170w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 317px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 317\/475;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/loire-valley-sparkling-wines-cherry-bombe\/\">Cha McCoy<\/a>, Sommelier and Wine Consultant Cha Squared Hospitality and Founder of the event series, The Communion, Beverage Director for Cherry Bombe Magazine, suggests famous charbroiled oysters, traditional to New Orleans Cuisine. \u201cIt\u2019s a given that fresh oysters are great pairings with the high acidity of champagne, but vintage champagne has more complex textures and brioche notes from aging which works well with this style of cooked oysters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cha continues, \u201cMy favorite recipe is oysters topped with garlic, butter, oregano, parsley, Parmesan and Romano cheese then charbroiled over a charcoal grill. <strong>A 100% Chardonnay<\/strong> (Blanc de Blancs) pairs well with the herbs and creamy profile complements the butter and garlic.\u201d<\/p>\n<h1>WHITE TRUFFLE<\/h1>\n<p><strong>Sabrina Notarnicola, VP of Marketing &amp; Brand Strategist, Urbani Truffles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Urbani Truffles, an international division of Urbani Tartufi, has long been a landmark in the field of truffles, mushrooms, and truffle products on the world markets and especially in the US.\u00a0 &#8220;White truffle risotto or pasta with a Brut Ros\u00e9 Champagne, like <a href=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/shop-for-wine\/?gProdNM=Taittinger%20Prestige%20Rose\">Taittinger Prestige Ros\u00e9<\/a>, is delicious and one of our favorites to serve for Christmas or New Years&#8217; Eve.

In this regard, to me, there\u2019s nothing better than a Blanc de Blancs Champagne with a Dover Sole. If you\u2019re splurging, the best is the Taittinger \u201cComtes de Champagne,\u201d especially after its aged for a few years after release and the lemon, chalky and vanilla flavors have softened. The Champagne\u2019s absolute crystalline purity of flavor is spectacular with any delicately prepared fish (think poaching or baking moreso than grilling) and is surprisingly complementary to grain-based vegan preparations.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6137 alignright lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/sara-dubler-pCD5JJl2l50-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"381\" height=\"254\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/sara-dubler-pCD5JJl2l50-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/sara-dubler-pCD5JJl2l50-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/sara-dubler-pCD5JJl2l50-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/sara-dubler-pCD5JJl2l50-unsplash-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/sara-dubler-pCD5JJl2l50-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/sara-dubler-pCD5JJl2l50-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/sara-dubler-pCD5JJl2l50-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/sara-dubler-pCD5JJl2l50-unsplash-175x117.jpg 175w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/sara-dubler-pCD5JJl2l50-unsplash-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/sara-dubler-pCD5JJl2l50-unsplash-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/sara-dubler-pCD5JJl2l50-unsplash-270x180.jpg 270w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 381px) 100vw, 381px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 381px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 381\/254;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m also a big fan of fragrant Rose Champagnes\u2019 versatility with food, particularly meatier, fleshier preparations, such as roasted monkfish or grilled herb-rubbed swordfish. The Rose\u2019s tart, berry-like fruit also matches cured meats and I\u2019ve even enjoyed these wines with roast duckling. Adding mildly tart berry-fruit flavors to a dish has a wonderful effect on Roses, bringing out more of their latent middle-palate flavors. Among my favorites: Billecart-Salmon Rose Brut in a delicate style, Laurent-Perrier \u201cCuvee Rose\u201d Brut in a richer style, or balanced in the middle, the Taittinger \u201cPrestige\u201d Rose Brut.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shanley Snydeman, Head Sommelier, Boston MA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am always encouraging my guests to consider champagne for more than just celebration toasts, or with oysters and caviar. Working in a seafood restaurant, I am lucky that champagne works with so many of our dishes, but one of the most underrated pairings is rose champagne and smoked fish. I love to pair smoked salmon with the Taittinger Prestige Rose. It\u2019s luxurious and perfectly balanced between richness and vibrancy. It\u2019s got loads of acidity, but also a great depth of flavor that stands up perfectly to smoked salmon with all the fixings. This also makes it perfect for brunch!<\/p>\n<h1>FRIED CHICKEN<\/h1>\n<p><strong>Christopher Dooley, Sommelier<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The one thing that has kept me sane this year, has been fried chicken and champagne. It&#8217;s the perfect pairing that has allowed me to escape reality, even for just a meal. What&#8217;s not to love? Greasy, crunchy, juicy chicken, and bright, toasty, bubbly champagne is one of life&#8217;s great pleasures. Know that if you are about to have fried chicken and champagne together for the first time, you are envied by everyone. What I would give to have it again for the first time!<\/p>\n<h1>STEAK<\/h1>\n<p><strong>Todd Lipman, Sommelier<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Champagne is extremely diverse at the table and its utility as a paired beverage beyond the first part of a meal is often unrealized. I actually love Champagne with steak, especially if it has been pan-roasted with butter and possibly garlic and herbs. Of course, there are traditional pairings that are very successful, but if you break down not only what Champagne is, but what it does, this makes all the sense in the world. Acidity abounds in Champagne and helps cut through the fattiness in both the beef and the butter. It also washes the richness off of the palate and enhances salivation. Additionally, the caramelization of the flesh works wonders with both the flavors and textures provided by aging the wine for extended periods on the lees. For some reason this can be just as successful with a bone-dry Extra Brut to a wooded, Brut mega-cuv\u00e9e with a bit more heft and autolytic (nutty) character. Though certainly not exclusively, I find earthy Champagnes leaning heavily on Meunier to be particularly successful, here.
