Bouquet Sauvignon Blanc Wine from Long Island with Osetra Caviar

2014 Bouquet Sauvignon Blanc from the North Fork of Long Island wine appellation.

It's Fall in New York with temperatures in the 70's.

It is time for a chilled bottle of Sauvignon Blanc from Long Island. Sipping this now brings back those summer beach days. The wine is like a relaxing day at the beach.

The wine is filled with aromas of grapefruit and oranges along with the ripeness of a honeydew melon This is blended with all that minerality. On the palate it is light and delicate but on the finish there is that mouth watering zesty bitter grapefruit that is as refreshing as that breeze off the ocean water on a hot summers' day.

Lady Elena Caviar Pairing

O My Setra caviar (Osetra): The caviar accents the citrus of the wine with the minerality of each complimenting each other. The zestiness of the wine clears its way through the creaminess of the Osetra caviar and refreshes the palate. A great Lady Elena Caviar and wine pairing.

Wine from Croatia-Sauvignon Blanc-White Sturgeon Caviar

Our next stop in the search for value wines that pair with caviar brings us to Croatia.

We had the opportunity to taste the Croatian wines of Badel 1862 with their Oenologist Tina Klepac. All the wines were delicious and represent good value.

We inquired as to which wines she thought would pair with caviar. We tasted the white wines with White Sturgeon caviar.
The best pairing was with the 2015 Sauvignon Blanc Daruvar
.
Daruvar is the vineyard located in the growing region of Continental Croatia in the sub growing region of Slovenia. This wine is 100% Sauvignon Blanc but is a blend of two different clones. Each clone is hand harvested separately and then blended.

Wine Notes: The wine has a pale gold color with green tints. There are refined aromas of tropical fruits with some underlying minerally which carried through onto the palate. The finish has a nice freshness with some mineral softness.

Lady Elena Caviar and Wine Pairing: The caviar lifts the sweetness of the fruit of the wine and is followed by the soft salty minerality of both the wine and the caviar. A great Lady ElenaCaviar and wine pairing.

Boya Sauvignon Blanc and Osetra Caviar

This 2015 Boya Sauvignon Blanc from Leyda D.O. in the San Antonio Valley in Chile and Osetra caviar is a winning combination especially when the wines price point is around USD $16.

The wine is filled with grapefruit and with a little mango. You will also find some grassiness with a zing at the end. Refreshing and delicious.

Lady Elena Caviar Pairing

O My Setra Caviar (Osetra): At first there are the flavors of  the grapefruit and mango  and then the palate is cleansed with a slight floralness of the grapefruit remaining. A good Lady Elena Caviar and wine pairing.
