A Few of my Favorite Things
Anyone who knows me shouldn’t be surprised in the least by the following:
I adore smoked salmon and sparkling wine.
The sparkling can be from France, Italy, California, or Spain. The smoked salmon can be on a bagel, in a pasta, on pizza, dipped in soy sauce, drizzled with lemon…it doesn’t matter.
I already had an inexpensive bottle of Cava in my fridge: Cristalino–Brut– produced by Jaume Serra. After I read about it in another blog (I’ve searched and searched but couldn’t find which one to give proper thanks), I bought a bottle at Cost Plus for $7 or $8. It was nice and light, dry with tons of citrus. So when I piled the salmon on a bagel with cream cheese, red onion, and capers, and a little lemon juice, the experience was as good as always.
Nice to know that some things never let you down.

Cristalino is a great buy, it’s nice and refreshing and goes great with fried foods!
