Lately I've been getting excited about trying new wines. Let's be clear that I'm no oenophile. I routinely walk into a liquor store, packed with different wines from floor to ceiling, and make a beeline for any label that looks vaguely familiar and doesn't cost more than my rent. I swear I need a store with cue cards. Little signs everywhere that tell me what to look for or at least what to ask for. So any tip is useful to me and today I have a tip for you. Garnacha wines. Spanish wine, Mediterranean grapes, reasonable price, tastes good, goes with almost everything. Now isn't that easier?
When I'm having a more intimate get together, I like serving one great appetizer as opposed to lots of bowls full of various things. And frozen puff pastry is one of the best things that ever happened to appetizers. That and the wine, of course. Be sure to read the sweepstakes information below the recipe for your chance to win some great prizes. Enjoy!

Toss the roasted tomatoes with the parsley. Use a knife to remove the top of each pastry shell and fill each with equal amounts of the tomato mixture.
