Mediterranean Almonds

Entertaining at home can be simple and sophisticated with the right combination of ingredients on the menu. Consider a tasteful evolution of a classic pairing: roasted, salty nuts and cold, thirst-quenching beer. Take this famous duo to new heights by pairing wines and flavoured almonds. Flavoured almonds are a perfect starter for any gathering. Serve these Mediterranean Almonds to guests as a pre-dinner nosh paired with wine, or grab a handful to upgrade any snacking occasion. The complexity of flavours pairs well with a soft-textured dry Rosé, which is highly appreciated in many Mediterranean countries for its versatility. With these delectable almonds in one hand and a glass of vino in the other, snacking never tasted so good. If you're short on time, try one of the many new flavoured almonds now available in most grocery stores.
