When I had the opportunity to work with Gloria Ferrer, I knew these mini crab cakes would be perfect to pair with their elegant and sophisticated wines. The lightly fried, saltiness of the crab cakes paired with the fruit-forward taste of Gloria Ferrer is a match made in food heaven.

 

Sparkling wines pair beautifully with seafood and are a great match for any occasion. Gloria Ferrer wines are social, elegant, fun and are a wonderful, versatile match for many different types of cuisines.

Gloria Ferrer is California’s most awarded sparkling wine house. Gloria Ferrer Caves and Vineyards is Carneros’ original sparkling wine house owned and founded by the Ferrer family of Spain. The winery opened in 1986 in Sonoma County, California. They have received over 500 gold medals and 50 90+ ratings in the last 5 years. It’s easy to taste why once you have taken a sip.

How to make easy mini crab cakes:

To make these easy mini crab cakes start by combining crabmeat, Panko bread crumbs, eggs, onion, pepper, mustard, seasonings and salt. Refrigerate for at least one hour or until the mixture has firmed. Shape the mixture into small cakes and then coat the outside with more bread crumbs.

Heat oil in a skillet and then cook the crab cakes on each side until golden brown. Serve them warm with remoulade sauce and a chilled glass of your favorite Gloria Ferrer sparkling wine.
