One of my favorite things to eat is cheese. And when I say that, I mean I could literally LIVE off of it. I think this obsession developed while studying abroad with one of my best friends; we could not get enough brie! (We studied in Florence, Italy…so that may have been the reason we were so obsessed – we were surrounded by delicious cheeses!!) Needless to say, over the years my obsession has developed and I have become quite partial to nicely done cheese plates.
With the holidays among us, the need for a gorgeous appetizer is necessary, SO…I decided today I would switch it up and show you guys my first official cheese plate arragement, accompanied with my favorite 2-buck-chuck (literally you guys this wine {Quail Oak} is $2 at Vons and I honestly prefer it over some expensive wines I’ve had…don’t believe me, try it for yourself! I promise you will love it!) To enhance this experience, I drank my wine out of these amazing glasses made from upcycled wine bottles! They are seriously my new favorite glasses – I love them because you can drink wine from them, or you can enjoy whatever your favorite beverage may be!
