Community Tasting Note

Thursday, December 8, 2011 - Jujube Ole Imports Wine Dinner (Jujube Restaraunt Chapel Hill NC): 1st wine of the Jujube Ole Imports Wine Dinner, served with a crispy celery and walnut salad with kumquat and black vinegar. Light apple notes with touches of yeast and hay and healthy dose of dry stone minerality. Obviously dry as a Brut, and not a great amount of citrus, which actually added a nice dry contrast to the acidity of the kumquats and the vinegar. The dryness also kept the walnuts from finishing with a bitter aftertaste. Truly a surprising transformation with and without the Cava. As a wine, this Cava gets an overall B+ with the $13.99 price tag (B+ Cava quality / B+ value) but an absolute A for the pairing!
