Veggie Sliders with Balsamic Caramelized Onions served with Sutter Home Moscato Blends, making summer entertaining fun.

My first experience with wine was with Sutter Home many years ago while in college. It was my final year and I was in a small design class, about seven of us, our professor prepared a nice dinner at her home to celebrate the end of the class. She prepared pasta and salad and served a Sutter Home red with dinner. My first experience I’d say was quite nice and since then I’ve experienced many of the Sutter Home wines. There is a 65-year history of award-winning California wines associated with the Sutter Home family vineyards, at an affordable price I’ll add. That affordability has made it easy to bring friends and family together for celebrating special occasions.

Summer break started two weeks ago, so I decided to get some of my girlfriends together before it gets too hot and too busy. Unfortunately, it’s already too hot so we moved the party indoors, but fortunately we had some cool crisp wines to pair with good food.

Being the vegetarian in the group I decided to make it a meatless gathering. I kept it simple so I could enjoy myself, there’s nothing worse than entertaining friends and not being able to enjoy them because you are too busy preparing. I served a simple cheese and fruit tray to get things started.

It was a work for food party, a few of my friends were busy shaping sliders, while others were slicing onions for some tasty Veggie Sliders with Balsamic Caramelized Onions.

After mixing the veggie slider ingredients together in a bowl, simply shape them and place on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. While sliders were cooking, I caramelized the onions on the stove top using some of the Blueberry Balsamic Glaze I made last week.

I’m certainly not an expert at pairing wines, but I think I did a pretty good job of selecting wines that complemented the menu and satisfied all of my guest.

One of my friends absolutely loves Moscato and would drink it with anything. I on the other hand, love dryer wines like Chardonnay and fortunately for all of us, Sutter Home has a new Moscato blend of wines and I picked a few up for this gathering. Moscato, Moscato Chardonnay, Moscato Red and Moscato Pink.

This Chardonnay Moscato blend is by far my favorite, because it’s Chardonnay and I love Chardonnay. It paired well with the savory flavors of our make, bake and eat pizza, veggie sliders and cheese as well as it did with the sweet and tartness of the fruit from the cheese tray.

I was pleasantly surprised with the Red Moscato, it paired well with the savory and subtly sweet flavors of the caramelized onions I used on the veggie sliders and the pizza. However, when paired with the berries served in clouds of coconut cream for dessert, it was if they were made for each other.

With these new Sutter Home Moscato blends I no longer think of Moscato as only a dessert wine.

Everyone was pleased with the food, the wine, and the company of friends together making lasting memories.

    I would love this! What a fun get together. Everyone got to help and then enjoy the fruits of their labor! I bet your kitchen was full of love and laughter. And the food looks incredible. Moscato is usually too sweet for me, I am going to have to try these new flavors by Sutter Home! I love to put my Chardonnay over ice in the summer and add fruit and a bit of soda water for bubbles. This Chardonnay Moscato could be just like that, and already mixed for me! Love it!

      You are like me, Moscato is really too sweet for my taste, but the mix of Moacato/Chardonnay made all the difference in the world to me. I really like it.
      We had loads of fun and it was nice having help for the clean-up as well.

    Celeste- I saw your link @ Saucy Saturdays. I love the “work for food” party idea! How fun- I’m going to try that???? I love wine and haven’t seen the new line of moscato. I too tend to like the dry whites and tannins in the reds.

      Hi Michelle, since you like the dryer wines like I do, you may like the Moscato/Chardonnay.

    The balsamic glaze sounds like such an interesting and delicious addition to the onions. I have recently fallen in love with the specialty oil and vinegar shops that are popping up and I can totally see dishing working with the artisan balsamic vinegar’s

      Thanks Samantha, it’s the balsamic glaze mixed with the pineapples that make it so good. You have to give them a try.
