The summer is not over yet! Cheers!
Do you have friends stopping by this weekend, and no time to shop? Don’t sweat it! Your wine tutor is here with an easy spread you can pull together in a snap.
So if guests are on their way and you need a little something to serve ASAP… stick to the ABCs!
✨ Apéritif:
Start by chilling your favourite sips: keep it simple with a light or sparkling wine, jazz it up with a spritz, or pull out some vermouth to take things to the next level. Apéritif is all about socializing over a little glass of something lovely. The perfect thing for an elegant, impromptu gathering!
✨ Board:
Take quick trip to the fridge and pantry, and see what you’ve got. Cheese? Some fresh or dried fruit? Nuts… olives… honey? A bit of hummus, perhaps? Grab some crackers, present it all on your prettiest board or platter, and you’ve got a grazing board in minutes.
✨ Crostini:
Everything is better with carbs, right? Toast up some bread, and get creative with the toppings, based on what’s on hand. Dice or grate tomatoes for bruschetta or pan con tomate. Smear some soft cheese and top with sweet preserves. Throw some fruit or veg on the grill, and drizzle with balsamic. And if all you’ve got is an onion (and a bit of time), caramelized onions and a bit of olive oil is always a hit!
Remember: Connection > Perfection. Cheers to the long weekend!
