Peanut butter and jelly, Batman and Robin,
Champagne and Oysters.
Some pairings feel inevitable. Many of the best pairings feel as if it’s beyond comprehension how one managed to exist in the world without the latter. Some feel this way about themselves and a partner, friend, family member, or any other half that deems the life you were living before discovering them to be nearly uninhabitable. For us here at BWG, we feel that way about Champagne and Oysters. This is a duo that some may balk at, and some may never have the opportunity to indulge in this out of the ordinary pairing. But for those who have experienced the grandeur of bubbles and brine, we see you. And we agree! We decided that it was time we shared our curated guide to perfectly pairing champagne and oysters.
BWG recently released a limited collection that celebrated such a timeless union. We hand curated truly legendary cuvées from the heart of Champagne: Dom Pérignon, Krug, Salon, and other respected houses, and paired them with some truly magnificent mollusks. Imagine pairing your favorite vinatge champagne with a bivalve buddy. Check out our guide to sharing champagne and oysters, and don’t be afraid to offer these soulmates at your next party.
