Gathering Board served with Great Frogs Reds & Whites

Gathering board served with Great Frogs Reds and Whites

Boards are super versatile and can be used for all sorts of occasions, each with its own unique vibe. We’ve seen boards that are all about fruits, veggies, desserts, buffets, hummus with a Mediterranean twist, and even breakfast boards.

Our featured board is a bit more traditional, but it still has a lot of variety. It includes both fresh and dried fruits, cheeses, veggies, breads, crackers, nuts, olives, smoked salmon, and a few dessert items. There’s also a special small board with fresh honeycomb, Brie cheese, and crusty bread. The honeycomb was a huge hit, and it’s definitely a must-have on any board.

Of course, no board would be complete without some tasty sauces and dips or spreads. We included spinach/artichoke, roasted garlic & onion hummus, and a delicious basil pesto. To go with the board, we paired it with a variety of great Frogs wines, including three reds and one white.                                                         Enjoy!

When creating your board, think about your theme or vibe, focal points, something homemade, store-bought, and an accent to add color and a touch of beauty. The size board you want to use will depend on how many items you’ll be using. You can also use multiple boards, just like we did here. If you’re including homemade dips or sauces, make sure to make them ahead of time. Chop, slice, roast, and drain all the items you’ll be assembling. Now, let’s get creative! You want your board to have a flow, so start with your focal points. These are usually the ingredients that will set the tone for your board. They can also be your small dishes of sauce, dip, and spreads. Next, create sections and then fill in the spaces. Voilà

It’s that easy, and please, have fun with it!
