With the holidays quickly approaching, it’s time to start thinking about food, gathering, and libations! For those tasked with bringing an appetizer and wine to a party gathering, we asked our wine club manager, Dawn, to share an app and wine pairing that she’ll be serving this holiday season.
Spicy Cherry Hummus
For those who like things spicy and sweet, this Spicy Cherry Hummus will do the trick! Out-of-town guests will also love being treated to this cherry-flavored dip. Dawn recommends pairing this humus with our 2018 Medium Sweet Riesling.
