Favorite Oyster Insights
| Date | Location | Speaker | Insights |
| 01/25/16 | Bodega Bay Oyster Company | The Strain Family | The Tomales Bay wouldn’t be there without the San Andreas Fault. “You taste an oyster, and you’re tasting the bay.” |
| 02/11/16 | Taylor Shellfish | Marco Pinchot | 1st factor tasted- brine or salinity of oyster
2nd factor tasted- complexity of place: mineral, vegetal, fruit tones in flavor due to unique conditions of bay grown in 3rd factor tasted- savory, umami, metallic flavor that stays on the palate |
| 02/18/16 | Donedei Wines | Lorne Goldberg | With oysters, classical wine accompaniments include Pinot Gris, Muscadet, Champagne, and Sauvignon Blanc. They tend to be whistle clean, bone dry, lack of barrel(oak) and the high acidity is a great complement to the oysters. |
