The Caribbean is not a single cuisine but an incredible blend of flavors from a mosaic of islands, cultures, and centuries of culinary exchange shaped by Indigenous heritage, African tradition, and European influence. Drawing on the bold, spice-forward flavors of Jamaica and the deeply soulful home cooking of Puerto Rico, this limited-edition pairing experience invites guests to discover how sparkling wine rises beautifully to meet the heat, sweetness, and complexity that define Caribbean cooking.<\/p>\n

The experience includes four savory and one sweet bite, each thoughtfully designed to pair with four of Domaine Carneros\u2019 top-rated Carneros sparkling wines: Ultra Brut, Estate Brut Cuv\u00e9e, Brut Ros\u00e9, and Verm\u00e9il Demi-Sec. Guided by the winery\u2019s most seasoned wine educators, guests will gain a fresh perspective on sparkling wine\u2019s remarkable range and versatility.<\/p>\n

NOTES:<\/strong><\/p>\n

[1] Saz\u00f3n is a seasoned salt blend widely used in Latin Caribbean cooking particularly in Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Dominican cuisines. The name simply means “seasoning” in Spanish.<\/em><\/p>\n

The classic blend typically includes cumin, coriander, garlic powder, oregano, and salt, but the defining ingredient that gives it its signature warm golden-orange color is annatto (achiote), a natural dye derived from the seeds of the annatto tree. Some versions also include turmeric.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
