Rose Wine, Please help!

Scarface123

I have a lady friend calling friday night, and she drinks Blossom Hill Rose (pink) wine. I have no idea about wine, so my question is what nibbles are suitable to serve with this? Im not talking about anything that you have to cook, I purely mean light nibbles for example crackers, cheeses, nuts, chocolates etc. Any help appreciated!

Blossom hill isnt a particularly posh wine. Some hunky dorys or pringles would do just fine.

Crackers and cheese would be lovely too. A lot of supermarkets have a handy cheese selection board with three or four types

I agree its a cheap wine, but its the one that she drinks so who am I to argue eh

Not chocolate, chocolate and rosé/wine in general is (to me anyways) gross. I'd go for a mild, creamy goats cheese & some nice crackers

Get off my lawn!

Here's a 'nibble' that seems fancy but is super easy (3 minutes to assemble, 20 minutes in the oven) and has a wow effect.

Buy a circle of brie, a jar of apricot preserves (NOT jelly - the sugar content is too high), and a tube of crescent rolls.

Preheat the oven to 350F

Lightly grease a cookie sheet or small baking pan. Open the tube, unroll the dough, and lay it flat on the pan.

Unwrap the brie and lay it in the middle of the dough (leave the white rind on).

Spoon about half of the jar of apricot preserves on top of the brie.

Now wrap the dough around the brie. If you're feeling fancy, you can try to make the top into a nice shape and/or brush it with a beaten egg.

Bake for ~20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown. Serve warm with crackers - it will be gooey and delicious.

You can always just get brie, crackers and preserves, but this literally takes 3 minutes to assemble, looks impressive, and is so delicious warm.

Good luck with your lady friend!

Most roses go with very little food. If I rsber correctly the taste of tgat one it is fairly lightweight and only thing I can think of is some inoffensive fruit.

You can also check the back of the bottle, serving suggestions are usually written there. I would just pick something you both like. If she drinks rose she probably isn't some wine connoisseur anyway and too strict about the rules.

Rose and food is iffy. It's quite sweet. I'd go for crisps.

If you want to fancy it up, get the o'donnell crisps maybe instead ye olde tayto?

You can get nice dry rosé too.
