Other Fun Pairings:
Baked Brie with Honey and Herbs
Warm, creamy Brie is a natural match for Chardonnay. Top it with a drizzle of honey, fresh herbs, and chopped nuts, then serve with crackers or toasted bread for an appetizer that looks impressive but takes very little effort.
Parmesan and Herb Popcorn
Sometimes the best wine snacks are the simplest. Toss freshly popped popcorn with grated Parmesan, a little butter, fresh herbs, and flaky salt. The salty, savory flavors make it an easy snack to put out alongside a chilled bottle of Lot 152.
Whipped Goat Cheese Crostini
Creamy goat cheese spread over crisp crostini gives you an easy base for whatever you have on hand. Top with roasted tomatoes and basil for something savory, or honey and fresh fruit for a sweeter take.
Crispy Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus
Salty prosciutto and roasted asparagus make an easy two ingredient appetizer that comes together quickly. Roast until the prosciutto is crisp and finish with a squeeze of lemon before serving.
Marinated Olives and Parmesan
For a snack that requires almost no prep, pair warm marinated olives with chunks of Parmesan. Add citrus peel, herbs, and a little olive oil to the olives, then serve everything with crackers or crusty bread.
