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.

Sir Winston Churchill Champagne Meets Lady Elena Caviar

What a memorable first meeting!  An owner of the Pol Roger Champagne house personally introduced the 2004 Sir Winston Churchill Cuvee Prestige champagne to Lady Elena Caviar while she was snacking on her Osetra caviar.

There were the glimmers of light bouncing off the light golden color in the glass but it must have been the alluring smoky nutty aromas with the apples, black fruits and sweet brioche filling the glass that got the Lady's attention. On the palate, there is that enticing smoky nuttiness and mineral coated black fruits with a spicy note. The champagne finishes as it starts but now it all lingers in your mouth.

For all of its current ageing, there is still freshness.This is still a powerful youthful wine. Youthful or mature this will always be an elegant wine and always be deserving of the company of the elegant Lady Elena Caviar.

Lady Elena Caviar Pairing 

O My Setra (Osetra Caviar): The champagne's fruit and acidity gently brings you through the creamy nuttiness of the Osetra caviar leaving your palate cleansed and ready for the next spoonful and sip of Sir Winston Churchill Cuvee Prestige champagne.
