New’s Year Eve is one of the most happening evenings of the year – whether you’re out and about partying with friends and family or entertaining at home, here are Mollie Stone’s Markets’ picks to make your holiday celebration a fabulous one!
California Caviar:
Caviar is one of the most popular New Year’s Eve foods. It can be served at any gathering, big or small, and offers that strong savory kick that pairs well with all that sparkling wine. You may be asking yourself, “What’s caviar?”
Simply put, caviar is fish eggs, specifically the pickled roe of a sturgeon. It’s important to select a company that sustainably acquires, produces, and distributes their caviar. California Caviar are purveyors of indulgence. They are dedicated to the stewardship of responsible and sustainable caviar production and distribution. Since 2007, they have been innovators in their field – combining old world traditions with new world technology to create the best caviar product on the market. California Caviar offers a wide selection of products, sure to please any taste palette.

Bay Area-based French charcuterie company, Fabrique Delices, offers endless variety of pates, mousses, rillettes, and other specialty meats. Founded in 1985, the company keeps high quality standards for the development and productions of their products.

Sparking Wines:
Scharffenberger Cellars Brut Excellence | Visit their Website
“Scharffenberger has been pioneering super premium Mendocino California sparkling wine since 1981, with grapes sourced from Scharffenberger’s own 120 acres of vineyards, as well as select vineyards in Mendocino County. Grapes grown in Mendocino County – an unmatched appellation for sparkling wine – benefit from the cool coastal influences of the Pacific Ocean. Scharffenberger Brut Excellence is made by the méthode traditionelle process, whereby the wines are individually bottle-fermented before being riddled and disgorged.
The wine is approximately 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir. The full malolactic style adds a vanilla cream character producing a round and full-bodied wine. After approximately two years on the lees, there are notes of freshly baked bread and pastry that enhances the more fruit forward style of the wine. Finally, after several months of aging, the wine develops caramel and hazelnut complexities.”
Roederer Estate Brut | Visit their Website
“Founded in 1981, Roederer Estate is nestled in Mendocino County’s fog-shrouded, Anderson Valley. As the California property of Champagne Louis Roederer, Roederer Estate builds upon a centuries-old tradition of fine winemaking. Roederer Estate’s winemaking style is based on two elements: ownership of its own vineyards and the addition of oak-aged reserve wines to each year’s blend or cuvée. All the grapes for the Anderson Valley wines are grown on the Estate. Oak-aged wines from the Estate’s reserve cellars are added to the blend, creating a multi-vintage cuvée in the traditional Louis Roederer style. The Roederer Estate Brut is crisp and elegant with complex pear, spice and hazelnut flavors. It is fresh and lightly fruity with great finesse and depth of flavor.”
