Cava Sparkling Wine Tasting Diner


Kimi called to inform me about this event. Spanish wines have improved a lot this recent decade and

I've never tried the house chef David Gaveau's cuisine, so this was a chance to satisfy my curiosity.




Lables are quite interesting.



Amuse Bouche:

Gillardeau Oyster

Smaller than usual but was fresh and had a more intense flavor than those big fat ones.



Chilled Oscietra Caviar, Sea Urchin and Cauliflower "Soufflé"

Served with Créme Fraiche and Blinis

Not a bad dish but I couldn't taste the sea urchin at all.

The pairing wine was PAGO DE THARSYS BRUT NATURE

80% Macabeo and 20% CHARDONNAY

Golden colored, flora, orange and dried fruit aroma, fine bubbles, creamy finish.

My favorite tonight.
