I don't think it is a secret that I am super passionate about the food I cook and the recipes I create! To be able to make food that my friends and family find tasty makes me quite happy! It's also no big secret that I love not only great food but a great glass of wine, okay maybe two glasses! Over the years I have developed a passion for pairing food and wine. One of my favorites is Wente Vineyard Wines! They have a wonderful selection of great tasting wines.

The hubs travels a lot for work. When he returns home, we really enjoy spending time together enjoying good food and a great glass of wine! One of his most requested snacks for our quality time is this phyllo baked brie with fig jam and pecans, to enjoy with a nice cold bottle of  Wente Vineyard's Morning Fog Chardonnay!  This appetizer is a crowd pleaser and so easy to prepare.  The brie bakes quickly and you have a gooey cheesy appetizer topped with fig jam and pecans.  We love it with fresh fruits and crackers!baked-brie-with-fig-jam

Wente Vineyards is a fifth generation, family run, California-based winery. Their Morning Fog Chardonnay is an absolutely lovely wine that has wonderful flavors coming from green apples, tropical fruits, vanilla, and a touch of toasty oak! They have other wines as well, including Riva Ranch Pinot Noir which is another favorite of mine!

It has been so much fun for me to learn to pair food with wine and share that passion with my husband and friends! It makes me happy to prepare a recipe and pair the meal with different wines from the Wente Vineyard Collection!
