WTN: Ferret Guasch "Coupage Sara" 1997 Cava

[docsconz]

This was a cava I brought back from Catalunya this summer based on a recommendation of a wine merchant in Barcelona. I served it with a trio of seafood appetizers including Maine winterpoint oysters and fresh lemon, peekytoe crab, garlic and chive crostini and sauteed diver sea scallops with sauteed spinach pesto and parmiggiano. It complemented all three dishes nicely, although other wines are perhaps a better pairing for the oysters. It was nicely dry with small bubbles. While not innately as elegant as the Grand Dame described in a different post, I'd say that it holds its own against most champagnes that I've had.
