Summer in PEI beckons with its bounty of fresh seafood, inviting us to savour the ocean's treasures alongside perfectly paired wines. Cheryl MacDonald, Notables' specialty product advisor, offers delightful pairing suggestions to elevate your seafood gatherings. When pairing with PEI oysters or mussels, Cheryl recommends wines like Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Bougrier (09632Z) or Fournier Père et Fils Silex Sancerre (W0361Z) . Opt for wines labelled "sur lie" for added richness that complements these delicacies beautifully. Chablis, renowned for its historic vineyards resting on ancient oyster beds, promises a unique dining experience. Indulge in Joseph Drouhin Chablis Drouhin-Vaudon (B0004Z) to enhance the flavours of your seafood platter. No seafood feast is complete without bubbles. Champagne Lombard Premier Cru Extra Brut (W0120Z) offers a refreshing palate cleanser, perfect for the occasion.
