Wrap

Figs

Put the figs on a cooler spot of the preheated grill. The idea here is that we want to grill the figs gently to cook the fig all the way through but to still get the char on the outside. Grill the figs on all sides so the prosciutto is starting to become crispy and the fig feels soft when squeezed, about 5 to 6 minutes.

Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose

Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé are great choices for Fingerfood. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. The Domaine Ravaut: Grand Cru Hautes Mourottes Pinot Noir Wine with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 79 dollars per bottle.

Domaine Ravaut: Grand Cru Hautes Mourottes Pinot Noir Wine

A reddish bronze tint reveals this wine's age, but it still has plenty of life. A deep, rich nose suggests ripe black cherries, clove, and cassis. After the wine has had time to breathe, it begins to reveal even more spice and fruit. Drinking beautifully now but likely to remain attractive through at least 2019.
