Cookin’ on the Coast 2024 – Episode 02:
Segura Viudas Cava w/West Coast Nicoise Salad
In episode #2 of Cookin’ on the Coast, Shanyn Ward from Liquor Plus returns with the Segura Viudas Cava and a few other favourites, including non-alcoholic options! This dry, crisp Cava offers aromas of white fruits, citrus, tropical notes, and light floral hints. On the palate, it’s complex yet delicate, with flavours of lime and pineapple, balanced by refreshing acidity. Its light body and elegant finish make it a perfect pairing for Chef Heidi’s dish.
Head to a Liquor Plus liquor store near you to pickup this fresh and complex Chardonnay from Unsworth.
Chef Heidi’s West Coast twist on the classic Nicoise salad is perfectly paired with Segura Viudas Cava. This summer dish showcases the best of our local harvest, featuring wild salmon and seasonal vegetables. The vibrant flavours, complemented by a tangy lemon-thyme dressing, pay homage to the traditional French recipe with a fresh, Pacific spin. The dish calls for a wine that enhances the herbs and seasoning without overpowering them.
In this episode of Cookin’ on the Coast, Chef Heidi and Shanyn Ward discuss how the bright acidity of the Cava complements the meal, why high-acidity food and wine pairings work so well, and explore the rich history of Segura Viudas.
