What is Umami? Ponder the oyster. Tom yum. Carne asada. All umami. Don't try to define it! Just surrender to the addiction; savor the flavor implosion.

Popping Cava for a Special Occasion

by kayoko

Sepi (aka Jon Sublet) and Amira got engaged!!! To celebrate this momentous occasion, we popped open a special bottle of Juve y Camps cava that Marc brought back for me from Barcelona. So awesome of him! I had been saving it for a special moment, and this was IT.

The wine was crisp and dry- not sweet at all. It would have gone well with some mild cheese and charcuterie.

Note the awesome cork design- I had never seen anything like it, it’s literally jammed shut, creating a triangular dip. Sorry, you can’t really see here that well, but it was neat!


You can just pop off this black thing and then get to poppin!


Big thanks to Marc for this special wine, and big congratulations to Sepi and Amira!!!
