jtnesbitt 0 #3 May 18, 2009 Strong cheese, bacon wrapped water chestnuts, bacon wrapped pineaple, bacon wrapped bacon...O! Bruschetta is the bomb too. With red wine it would be really good with cilantro and either fresh tomatoes or sun dried and a basalmic drizzle. Plus it's super easy.

wmw999 2,117 #10 May 18, 2009 Cocktail sausages and shiraz . Actually, my son was once at a wine tasting where the purpose was to pick the perfect wine to go with BBQ, and a shiraz was selected. It worked well, too. That said, it's hard to go wrong with bruschetta, or there are always cheese straws. A nice cheddar goes with red. Wendy P. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

tigra 0 #11 May 18, 2009 Dark chocolate covered chile rubbed dried mango slices (Trader Joes sells them - YUM!) with a nice shiraz or petite syrah. The chocolate, bite from the chile and tang from the fruit work really well with a full bodied red wine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

madhatter 0 #16 May 18, 2009 Sounds like my usual contribution to a dinner party Halloumi is a lovely cheese, not too strong so it won't spoil wine appreciation and it keeps it consistency. Good idea here It all depends on the wine you're taking. Any specific preferences, Skymama?A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hungarianchick 0 #17 May 18, 2009 French bagette, sliced diagonally and lightly toasted Take a couple of beef tenderloins (depending on crowd) season w/ pepper and salt and grill to medium rare. Let them sit, then slice really thin (you can also use any leftover steak) Soften up a package of garlic and herb gournay cheese (Boursin is the best) Spread slices w/cheese and top with steak Toast under broiler for just a minute Goes great with a good Merlot or Cab "I love cooking with wine.

madhatter 0 #19 May 18, 2009 Soft Merlot or well aged Pinot Noir with Halloumi. Fruity Zin, Merlot, or Pinot Noir will do well with a fruity (melon & bacon? Quite a nice combo!) dish. If you're into a spicy Zinfandel or Shiraz (Syrah, Rhone,... whatever) you can go for the toast/garlic/cheese/carpaccio or similar stronger flavours. Nice strong Cabernet Sauv., Cab./Merlot, Bordeaux/Meritage kind of wine, I'd go for something meaty but light. Carpaccio works great, something different might be a cheese plate with green, red & yellow peppers. The sweet peppers break the stronger cheese flavours without aversely impacting the wine appreciation. Best advice of all - enjoy any and all flavours that are offered! Drink whatever you want with whatever you want - taste is subjective and the best wine is always the wine in your glass A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!
