Zuchinni Parmesan Flatbread

“This is my go to appetizer- easy to prep in advance and requiring no last minute work. The saltiness of the parmesan balances out the sweet fruit of the Rose’ and really brings out the acidity in the wine. Both the appetizer and the Rose’ are the first to go at every party!”

– Pennie Haase, National Marketing Director and Northeast Regional Sales Manager
