Instructions
Reserve 6 of the wafers for garnish. Coarsely break remaining wafers; set aside. Beat cream cheese spread, sugar and vanilla in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Gently stir in 1-1/2 cups of the whipped topping.
Drizzle coffee over wafer pieces in small bowl. Spoon 2 Tbsp. of the cream cheese mixture into each of 6 (8-oz.) parfait glasses; top with 1 to 2 Tbsp. soaked wafer pieces. Repeat layers; top evenly with the remaining cream cheese mixture. Cover.
Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Top evenly with the remaining 3/4 cup whipped topping and reserved wafers just before serving.
Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio
Italian can be paired with Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio. Italians know food and they know wine. Trebbiano and Verdicchio are Italian white wines that pair well with fish and white meat, while Chianti is a great Italian red for heavier, bolder dishes. The Castellani Chianti Annata with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.

The palate is dry and balanced, lightly tannic which turns into velvety softness.Pairs well with delicious pastas to spicy pasta dishes. Ideal with roasts, steaks, and grilled veal.Blend: 90% Sangiovese, 10% Ciliegiolo
