Oysters and wine



As we happen to own a vineyard and have shares in the Clew Bay Oyster Coop, this article was super interesting. It tells of a winemaker cooperating with an oyster farm to pair a white wine with oysters and donate the proceeds to clean up the bay. What a great idea. Maybe we'll have to 'borrow' it. 

Cooper Mountain Vineyards and Hama Hama Oyster Company Announce the Release of Oyster White LD. The image is 'borrowed' from them. Except they have paired only with the Pacific gigas oyster. I think we'll need two different wines, both white. One to pair with the locally cultivated Crassostrea gigas as well as one to pair with the much more flavourful European oyster, Ostrea edulis. I think I'll set to work on the research right away.
