Bar Lucia Pimento Cheese Crudité and Crostini Dip
Spring is here! Sipping on the patio to warmer evenings invites us to sip sip hooray Rose or a bright crisp white wine this season. This party appetizer pairs well with a crisp, tart, sauvignon blanc or a fruity fresh blush Rose. You can’t go wrong a southern favorite as we head into the warm season of celebrating with friends outside.
