Manchego Crackers
You don’t have to buy crackers at the store. These craft Manchego Crackers are perfect with all sorts of things, including cheeses, olives and tapenade (missing from crostini in above photo). Easy to make and delicious, give these a try next time you need an appetizer cracker.
Wine Pairing:
Enjoy with a glass of Gun Bun Tempranillo. The Tempranillo from Gun bun pairs perfectly with these crackers, Tempranillo is a Spanish grape and Manchego is a Spanish cheese, it’s always great to pair things from the same cultures/regions.
