It's a very simple recipe in fact the title pretty much says it all. It also calls for fried sage leaves and i'm going to add prosciutto. I wanted to serve it with a wine and before making any final decisions wanted to consult the experts. So please, give me your input.

So, too, would a *softer* style of Loire Sauvignon Blanc -- instead of Sancerre, think Pouilly-Fume (NOT to be confused with Pouilly-Fuisse) or Reuilly (NOT to be confused with Rully), or even a Saint-Bris which, although it is in Burgundy, is made from Sauvignon Blanc.

Just make sure you use a mere dot of the fig jam on top of the goat cheese -- or the app will be too sweet and consequently the wine will taste sour. Since this is an app, and crostini-based, I'd love Champagne with it. Rose Champagne would link up nicely with the fig. A Loire white would find some commonality with the sage leaves (even an inexpensive Vouvray, e.g.) and a Savennieres would also do that as well as have some toasty bread-ness in common with the crostini. That would be my choice if you were not going in the direction of bubbly. A Gavi, as Bill says, would certainly work and also have a nice sage/herb commonality. But given the holidays and that this is a munchy kick-off, a "let's get this party started"-kind of thing, I'd go bubbles. But that's me.

Thu Nov 27 06:11:35 -0800 2008 4205159 31795 ibstatguy 1 4202111 I do this with Gavi de Gavi (Cortese grape), and it pairs well.
