Kendall-Jackson Vintner’s Reserve Riesling

PEACH TOAST with garden honey and spicy bush basil

Wangler came up with this idea when his wife was pregnant, and her No. 1 craving was bruschetta piled high with tomatoes. One day, there were no ripe tomatoes in his garden, so he grabbed a peach from the backyard tree and discovered a delicious new take on toast.

Serves 8

Top baguette slices with peaches, dividing themevenly. Drizzle each peach-topped toast with a scant 1 tbsp. honey and 1 tbsp. olive oil. Sprinkle with sel gris and then garnish with basil leaves. Serve immediately.
