Seafood and sparkling wine are kind of like soulmates – really, really tasty partners who bring out the best in one another. The inherent richness and decadence of great fresh seafood is the perfect foil palate cleansing acidity and effervescence of well-made sparkling wines. As the great spring thaw begins, it seemed like the perfect time to take a look at three of our favourite spring seafood recipes, and a collection of awesome value sparkling wines you’ll find on the shelf right now at your local LCBO shop. While none of these are from Champagne, they all offer immense drinking pleasure and exceptional quality, all at a fraction of the price of a bottle of Champagne. The tasty flavour combinations showcased today are an outstanding, easy and affordable way to celebrate the arrival of spring – or to turn an average weeknight dinner into something special.
