• #Food & #Wine Pairing: Chablis with Clams

  

  There is an axiom in the wine and food pairing world: Champagne and oysters is the perfect pairing. I am not about to dispute this truth, but I am going to expand it a bit. Pairing any white wine with oysters is not a given; however, there is a white wine that can stand alongside […]
