wine, cheese and artisan salami

{image found here}

Over the weekend Kiwi and I got together with a few friends for a little wine and cheese party. Kiwi ordered artisan salamis from Creminelli and gourmet cheeses from Beehive. We had so much fun trying out different pairings. I loved the salami tartufo {made with black truffles} and the espresso and lavender rubbed cheese. We sat out on the back patio eating and drinking to our hearts' content. What did you do this weekend?

*For tips on putting together the perfect antipasto plate check out this interesting article from Creminelli.

  7. Thanks for the comment (: I actually took my watch from my boyfriend (; It was his when he was a kid so it fits my wrist. & it's a Relic. I would eventually like to upgrade to a designer watch. Good luck with your watch shopping!

  8. i think wine/cheese/charcuterie is one of those things you learn to appreciate when you get older! Its funny that i've started to find joy in these things lately liek you!

    & you advice about 'a little time every night' was totally needed.

  18. I easily take for granted living in wine country! I'm surrounded by grapes and vines and hardly go out for tastings anymore - only when friends/family visit. I should change that....and I'll actually be pouring at one this weekend and maybe more weekends to come.

  20. Wow. Being that I am Italian, I just gravitate towards sharp cheeses, salty salamis and yummy red wines. Love, love this shot!
