Stylish Pairs
The Huguets have won acclaim for their cavas, and they also make stylish white and red wines that match this menu well:
Appetizers 1994 Huguet Brut Nature ($19). The Brut Nature is the drier of the Huguet's two cavas, and it's a bit fuller in body, with the character and complexity to complement the croquettes and canapés.
Soup and Salad 1997 Can Feixes Blanc Seleccío ($9). The richness of the leek soup and the lobster salad is offset by this wine's ripe floral aromas, full flavors and crisp finish.
Main Course 1995 Can Feixes Negre Seleccío ($13). This savory red, a blend of the Spanish Tempranillo and the French Cabernet and Merlot, is like a Spanish cousin of Bordeaux. It's a successful foil to the intense flavors of the roast bass.
