Bacon brie raspberry bites
We went with the bacon and raspberry notes for a sweet/savory dessert bite. This is really an hors d’oeuvres, but it was a perfect bite to finish the meal. These are quick and easy with phyllo cups filled with brie, bacon, and a raspberry preserve.
This was a perfect little bite with the wine, the Syncline 2017 Subduction Red, a red blend from the Columbia Valley.
