From the winemaker – “Luxurious, rich and concentrated aromas of black cherry, currant and blueberry are just the start of this 2007 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. The harmonious flavors of black cherry, anise and plush cassis explode through your mouth. This classic Napa Valley Estate Cabernet is elegant and wonderful young but also has everything it needs to age beautifully.”
Shitake Mushroom & Fontina Crostini
Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil
½ lb. Shitake mushrooms – stems removed, cut into
¼”dice
1 cup Fontina cheese – coarsely grated
¼ cup shallots – finely chopped
2 garlic cloves – peeled and minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
¼ cup St. Supéry Cabernet Sauvignon
1 tablespoon parsley – finely chopped
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 baguette of bread
Directions
Heat the oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan. Add the shallot and garlic and cook until soft but not browned. Add the mushrooms, thyme, wine and salt. Cook until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are tender – about 15 minutes. Adjust the seasonings and stir in the parsley.
For the crostini:
Cut twelve slices from the baguette diagonally – slices should be about 3/8” thick and about 4” long. Place slices on a baking sheet and brush the tops with olive oil. Bake in a 350° oven until golden brown.
To serve: Top each crostini with the mushroom mixture and sprinkle with the Fontina cheese. Place back in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted. Serves 4 as an appetizer.
