I am super excited for this post today. I have been waiting  for months to tell you!  I am working with Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards on their Glorious Bites campaign this year.  Each year, they have people from around the country submit their favorite appetizer recipes paired with their Sonoma Brut wine. The entries are narrowed down, and finally at the end the winner wins $5,000!

The semi-finals this year are held in 3 different regions around the country; Boston, Minneapolis, and Denver. With the finals being held at the winery in Sonoma in October. Well, I am beyond excited because I get to represent the Denver region.  That means, I get to be a judge at the event, meet the chefs, and drink some fabulous wine.  Stay tuned if you are local because leading up to the event I will be giving tickets away, so you can attend too!

So today, I tried my hand and my own wine and appetizer pairing. Rosemary Roasted Olives are salty, herby, and delicious. Kind of wishing I could enter at this point, because this pairing is so darn good. The flavors match perfectly together. The wine isn’t sweet, so it works great with the briny olives. And the bubbles in the wine just give it that extra something!

And what goes better with wine than olives really? Maybe cheese? But that is about it. And if we are being brutally honest, I am good with just a glass of wine on its own. These Rosemary Roasted Olives come together in just minutes. All you have to do is mix together a few ingredients, pour it over the olives and bake. Then open a bottle of Gloria Ferrer Sonoma Brut and you will have one heck of a treat.

So for your next party or get together, make a tray of these roasted olives. It will be unexpected to your guests, but trust me, they will be eating them all night long. You can use whatever olives you like. I picked up a mixture of different kinds, and I love how they each taste a little different.

Serve them warm with some nice crusty bread on the side. You could even mix up the herbs if you wanted. I think thyme would be great with these. Store any leftover in the fridge, and you can warm them in the oven to eat them the next day.

Do you have what it takes to win?  Head over to Glorious Bites to submit your recipe. I just might to get meet you in Denver!  How cool would that be? Get inspired by the recipes at Gloria Ferrer. You can see the recipes from previous winners there!

What a great combination. Love olives and rosemary with a rustic bread and a great manchego cheese. I bet it's delicious with the wine!
