It’s oyster night and this week we’re pairing fresh Cranberry Creek oysters with Stefano Antonucci Le Vaglie Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico from Italy’s Marche region.

Harvested from the cold, clean waters of the Hood Canal, Cranberry Creek oysters are known for their plump texture, bright salinity, and crisp finish.

These West Coast oysters offer a crisp, moderate brininess with earthy mineral notes and a slight honeydew melon finish.

In the glass, Le Vaglie Verdicchio delivers vibrant citrus, green apple, white peach, and delicate almond notes, supported by refreshing acidity and a distinctive mineral character. Produced in the renowned Castelli di Jesi zone along Italy’s Adriatic coast, it’s a classic expression of one of Italy’s great seafood wines.

2020 MUSCADET SÈVRE ET MAINE SUR LIE

Long praised as the ultimate oyster wine—an entirely deserved reputation—this Muscadet is uncommonly full and rich but still sporting the crisp acidity and low alcohol that make it so sessionable.

Lovely notes of honeysuckle and pulpy stone fruits, all while maintaining classic notes of iodine and sea breeze that make this the top choice for this week’s oyster pairing.

We’re pouring it along side the Murder Point oyster, which deliver a full, rich, creamy taste, a hint of butter flavor and a light metallic finish.

We’ll see you tonight!
