Your Perfect Pairs
For your next tasting you will be trying out two different oyster dishes and hushpuppies, each paired with three different beverages that may surprise you. Each have been paired up so that the flavors complement each other and highlight the best elements of each dish. Enjoy!
A FRESH START
Our first tasting at Watchman’s is going to be a Cava. Cava is a spanish sparkling wine made in a similar fashion to champagne. The difference is in the grapes that are used. You will notice some faint floral notes, with a hint of citrus.
The cava will be paired with oysters. Everyone knows champagne and oysters create a perfect balance, but let’s give kava a chance to shine in this pairing.
Why they are the perfect pair
Seafood is always a great match for white wines and when enjoying a raw oyster, you want to make sure you have something light that will not overpower your taste buds. These have been paired because the added zestiness and dry notes of the kava helps to bring out the natural flavors of the raw oyster without at all overpowering it. Raw oysters aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but this is absolutely the best way to get out of your comfort zone and give them a go!
NOT SO EXOTIC
For your next drink, you are going to be having a daiquiri and it is also going to be paired with oysters. We are pairing what… with what? Yeah, daiquiris and oysters. It isn’t as crazy as you may think.
Why they are the perfect pair
For the same reason that white wines are generally paired with oysters, daiquiris are citrus forward, complementing the natural flavours of the oysters.
A CRISP FINISH
For the last pairing brought to you by Watchman’s, you will be getting a Sauvignon Blanc. Sauvignon Blancs are known to be refreshing, high in acid and broad flavor profile with notes of lime, green apple and other citrus focused fruits.
Your Sauvignon Blanc will be paired with hushpuppies.
Why they are the perfect pair
Pay close attention to the accompaniments. The wine will bring out a bit of the natural flavors and complement the acidity levels.
