Even prior to the moratorium on Russian caviar, we looked to the Americas for our “black pearls.” We have discovered what we believe to be the very best caviar that is both rich and complex, a delicate crispness that pairs perfectly with Jordan Chardonnay. Florets of pan-roasted cauliflower serve as a warm and unexpected backdrop for this festive and elegant holiday dish.
