Spice and Vine Mercantile

We're closing early today (6pm - we're usually open until 8 on Thursday) - we'll be up at Arbor Crest Winery at the Chamber of Commerce Business Showcase. The winery has music tonight (https://www.arborcrest.com/summer-concert-series) and we'll have mini loaves of french bread along with one of our dipping kits (oil, vinegar, seasoning) for $15 to go with wine and music and fabulous weather!!

In observance of this important day, we will be closed on Monday, the 27th, as our family takes time to honor those we've lost and to remember the heroes who have given so much. Thank you for understanding, and we look forward to serving you again soon.

For our dinner group, we were assigned a French hors d'oeuvre to serve. We decided on a baked pastry brie dish with honey, fig jam, nuts and butter, served with toasted and cut soft bread sticks (flavored and brushed with a little bit of Gabe's and Mama's Spices) and fig & olive crackers (from Trader Joe's).

This hors d'oeuvre was super simple (5 ingredients- I used 7 including our spices) and it was as delicious as it was beautiful (it is great reheated the next day too)! The house and car smelled fabulous with the scent of fresh Rosemary herbs (baking makes the the scent super strong and wonderful!).

I posted this recipe to the Gabe's Gourmet Foods website under the Recipes tab. Enjoy the photos and try this soon!
