2016 Best Champagne/Wine and Caviar Pairings Announcement from Lady Elena Caviar

Throughout 2016, Lady Elena Caviar has tasted a few hundred champagnes and wines with our caviar. We do not say the champagne or wine and our caviar pair unless we have tasted the two together.

Champagne is the thought many people have when there is the mention of caviar. Lady Elena Caviar is about caviar for your lifestyle. There is a caviar for your budget among our 9 varieties. With this in mind, we look for champagnes and wines from all price ranges that pair with our caviar. Please note that champagne is a wine.

Our tasting throughout the year has been by the individual bottle, by the producer line, by a selection of wines by a country or by a wine producing region. Since wine and champagne prices can have such a wide range from the seller, we are not including any retail prices for them.

Every caviar variety has its own flavor profile and every wine has its own flavor profile. Our selected winners are those wines where the pairing had special enjoyable characteristics to it that made it stand out from the rest.

For 2016, we have 5 of the best champagne /wine and caviar pairings that we want to bring to your attention. We will be releasing them over the next few days.

Caviar Tradition on New Year's Day

From a Russian traditional viewpoint, New Year's Day is one of the biggest holidays to celebrate. Included in those many traditional dishes, caviar always makes an appearance.

Many non Russians have created their own tradition of bringing in the New Year with enjoying and sharing caviar on New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day.

During every holiday season, we see caviar being shown in large quantities, lavish parties and other presentations that make caviar appear to be unapproachable for everyone.

This is real black caviar from sturgeons. Many of these caviars have a buttery smoothness. Yes, you will probably taste salt. All the caviars are Malossol (low salt). Keep in mind that salt is used to cure the sturgeon roe.

Each variety has its own different taste. Some can be more buttery than others and others can have more of sea tang. Many people find that using crème fraiche helps reduce the saltiness. The nutty blini can compliment the caviar. 

Have fun and try your caviar:

1) straight off a non metallic spoon

2) off a spoon with a dab of crème fraiche

3) on a blini (no crème fraiche)

4) on a blini with crème fraiche

5) if you like oysters then you will love a dab of caviar on your oyster

Other Caviar Tips

The blini should be served at room temperature or slightly warm. 

The caviar jar / tin should be kept on a bed of ice to maintain a constant cool temperature before serving.
