    This post is sponsored by Wines of Garnacha/Gernache but the content and opinions expressed are of my own.

    In honor of International Garnacha/Grenache Day, I created these tasty Asparagus and Blue Cheese Rollups to serve at my food and wine tapas party. These asparagus rollups make an excellent compliment to Grenache wines.

    Wines of Garnacha/Gernache

    International Garnacha/Grenache Day is on September 15th! It is the perfect excuse to drink wine with your friends and eat delicious food.

    I invited my friends over to share my lovely Wines of Garnacha and Wines of Gernache collection. Garnacha/Gernache wines are a very  expressive wines from sweet, fresh, and fruity to intensely mineral in some cases with a wide range of aromas depending on their origin. They are an exceptional value priced between $10 to $20.

    Grenache and Garnacha wines

    The wine grapes main production is located in eastern Spain (where it is known as Granacha), southern France (where it is known as Grenache) and Italy.

    Grenache and Garnacha wines offers a diverse portfolio of wines in all colors to include dry still wines and Vins Doux Naturels (Fortified Sweet Wines). Their versatility makes them ideal for pairing to any cuisine. Their expressive range of aromas and flavors make them perfect for the casual drinker or the wine collector.

    Asparagus Roll Ups Appetizer with Cream and Blue Cheese

    To celebrate #GrenacheDay and #GarnachaDay, I invited some friends over for wine and tapas in my backyard for some outside entertaining. I made a nice variety of tasty finger foods, but what stole the show were my asparagus roll ups appetizer with cream and blue cheese.

    Asparagus and Blue Cheese Rollups

    Although easy to put together, this asparagus roll ups appetizer recipe take a little effort to make. 

    You have to steam the asparagus, make the cheese spread, make a butter spread, flatten the bread, and cut off the bread edges.... seems like a lot....BUT when you take a bite.... You will be happy with your effort. They are absolutely fantastic. I have friends that don't like blue cheese, but love these.

    They are best served right out of the oven, but they are still good at room temperature. At your next dinner party, give your guests a glass of Garnacha or Grenache wine and pair it with these asparagus roll ups appetizer with cream and blue cheese delicacies. Your guests will love them! I promise!
