Reimagine Dessert Wines!

I have never purchased a dessert wine before because my family doesn’t usually have space for something like that for dessert. However, this wine is special. The first time I tried it I knew I wanted to find a way to incorporate it into our next family meal. The winery paired this with blue cheese and it blew my mind! So, for Christmas appetizers, I made bacon wrapped, blue cheese stuffed dates and paired it with this beautiful wine. My family gushed about it and said it was the most fun, creative appetizer they’d had in a long time. The Late Harvest Viognier was a total show stopper!!
