Delightful Dining {Wine and Cheese}

It's Thursday. Have you made your New Year's plans yet? If you are planning on having people over and are so overwhelmed with everything else to plan a full meal, I have the perfect alternative for you. Wine and Cheese. It's something everybody (or most everybody hopefully) loves. Plus it's simple and less stressful for the dashing hostess. Lay out an array of cheeses, soft breads with a variety of dipping oils and spices, pieces of fruit and Italian meats for snacking. Uncork a couple bottles of wine and encourage guests to taste each one, moving outside of their wine comfort zone. All in all, it's a fun, simple way to ring in the new year with good friends and good wine! 

Delightful Dining {Wine Tasting}

There is this new little place by my parent's house. You walk in and think its just a little package store with walls filled with amazing wine, but upon closer inspection you see them serving delicious tapas and gourmet cheeses. You can order wine by the bottle or get a tasting of 4. It's absolutely amazing and has left me wanting to throw a wine tasting!

With the help of a wine expert, blindly taste wine for its distinctive flavors. Pair each wine with foods that enhance its flavor for a better experience. And with all of that wine flowing, prepare some great bits for noshing for guests. Breads for dipping, cheeses, fruits, bite sized desserts, and more. Sounds amazing if you ask me!
