There are aromas of fresh rich black plum, nuttiness, brioche and minerality. On the palate, this is all integrated with slight chalk notes. On the finish there is additionally a slight grapefruit bitterness making your mouth water.

With this pairing the slight chalk note appears with the caviar and the fruit is sweetened a bit. After the palate is cleansed the sweet fruit just lingers along to a mouth watering finish.

Champagne Charles Ellner,Snow and Wine Geeks

How much snow did you get this week from the big storm?

We asked our friend Champagne Charles Ellner to help us measure the snow depth.

We got snow up to the bottom of the foil label.

Now with a chilled bottle of champagne , where did I put that jar of Lady Elena Caviar to get chilled in the snow?
