These easy to make Roasted Grape Brie Crostini make a wonderful appetizer and the perfect companion to a bubbly glass of Sparkling Wine!

At the end of this of this month, my husband and I will be celebrating 15 years of marriage. Since we were married at the very young age of 17, we certainly bypassed all the statistics, and are still going strong.

This amazing man does things daily to remind me how lucky I am to have married him. He is the most caring, supportive, and loving husband and father anyone could ask for.

On our first wedding anniversary, which also happens to be New Year's Eve, we took a trip to Barcelona. We were living in Switzerland at the time, so it was a quick long weekend trip. Since we had our first born right before getting married, it was our first trip sans child. I remember how excited we were to sleep in, explore without a stroller, and celebrate NYE with the Spanish.

In Spain, eating 12 grapes at midnight on New Year’s is tradition. The 12 grapes, one for each stroke of midnight,  symbolizes 12 lucky months ahead. Since that trip, we have always combined traditions by celebrating our anniversary with grapes and a glass of sparkling wine.

This year, however, I decided that I wanted to change things up. It is always great to have a quick and easy appetizer recipe on hand for last minute invites. Since this appetizer comes with a story, it is even better. These Roasted Grape Brie Crostini are best served with a glass of VOVETI, as most appetizers are! VOVETI is a brut style DOC with tempered acidity and a fresh, graceful profile and makes for an easy drinking aperitif or cocktail, perfect for sharing with friends.

These Roasted Grape Brie Crostini and cold glass of VOVETI sparkling wine will make any celebration better! Do you have a certain celebration that has carried on throughout the years?
