2 Quick and Easy Appetizers to Serve with Böen Pinot Noir

One of my favorite things is having my girlfriends over and sharing a bottle of wine. We catch up on life, share how we’re doing with work and personal goals and laugh a lot. It was my turn to host a few weeks ago and I decided to whip up two appetizers to pair with the Böen Pinot Noir I found at a store near me.

See the quick and easy appetizers and learn more about Böen wine below!

Quick and Easy Appetizers

RECIPE 1: Bruschetta

Seems pretty basic, right? Bruschetta is the perfect thing to pair with Pinot Noir.

INGREDIENTS

  • French or Italian bread, cut in 1/2 inch slices
  • 1/3 cup of olive oil
  • 1 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese. I bought a block and diced into small cubes
  • 3 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup of bacon bits
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground pepper
  • 3 tablespoons of basil (chopped or picked apart)

DIRECTIONS

  • Drizzle the olive oil on one side of the bread. I used Italian.
  • Place on a baking sheet with the oil side facing up.
  • Bake for 5 minutes. I don’t like the break super done, just a nice toasty brown.
  • While the bread bakes, combine the tomatoes, bacon bits, pepper, and cheese in a bowl.
  • Stir ingredients or place lid on and shake.
  • When the bread is done, put the mixture on top.
  • Sprinkle the basil on top.

RECIPE 2: Lasagna Bites

INGREDIENTS

  • A cup whole milk ricotta
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon of thyme minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 lasagna noodles (cooked)
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 1/4 cup of pasta sauce

DIRECTIONS

  • In a bowl mix the whole milk ricotta, egg, lemon juice, thyme, and salt together.
  • Lay the cooked lasagna noodle out and cut in half.
  • Put the filling on each noodle. You can either roll the noodle up or leave it flat and top with another noodle.
  • Cut in half.
  • Place in a casserole dish with sauce on the bottom.
  • Spread sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each roll.
  • Bake at 350º F for 15 minutes.
  • Serve with a bowl of pasta sauce for dipping.

Both of these appetizers were a hit with my girlfriends! But the real MVP was sharing the Böen Pinot Noir!

“Böen is a translation of “The Farm” and I chose it as a reminder to myself that the wine I make is indivisible from the land it comes from that first and foremost, I am a farmer.” -Joseph Wagner

Wagner is a 5th generation winemaker and in his career has forged strong relationships with California’s top winegrowers. Böen is the purest expression of Wagner’s signature wine style, offering a nuanced, layered, and complex representation of the most renowned Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wine-growing regions in California. My girlfriends & I found the Pinot Noir to be smooth and crisp!

If you want to try Böen Wine for yourself, find a location that offers it here.

    This Pinot sounds amazing! I’m doing a no alcohol month, but once April rolls around I’m going to be picking up a bottle (or two!) to enjoy with a cheese plate!
