Preparing for the New York City Marathon with Blinis (Carbohydrates)
One of the key things to do for preparing for running a marathon the night before is to eat foods with carbohydrates.
So in preparation of watching the race, we are carbing down on blinis.(They come frozen so we need to wait for them to defrost.)

Alambre Moscatel de Setubal Sweet Wine Paired with White Sturgeon Caviar
Here we are tasting a sweet fortified wine from the wine region of
Península de Setúbal which is south of Lisbon. This is 100% from the
grape variety Moscatel de Setúbal.
2010 Jose Maria Da Fonseca Alambre Muscatel de Setúbal
This 2010 Alambre Muscatel de Setúbal has a light amber golden color. There are sweet aromas of honey and candied oranges. On the palate some there is some nuttiness with a balance of acidity that keeps the wine soft and sweet but not cloying. In the finish the nuttiness is more prominent and the balanced acidity leaves some of the sweetness lingering.
Lady Elena Caviar Pairing
Americana (White Sturgeon): Here we are very complimentary with the nuttiness of both and we have the contrast of the sweetness with the salty. With this wine, it results in slight creaminess remaining and a cleansed palate. A great Lady Elena Caviar and wine pairing.

Americana Caviar (White Sturgeon): This combination brings out the sweet creaminess of the White Sturgeon caviar. I think the crab on the label could use a necklace of caviar pearls. A great value wine to enjoy with this caviar.
2012 Messias Brut Milesime Sparkling
