French Financiers - By Lisa Bernard
Nothing pairs better with fresh and crisp rosé like a sunny day and something sweet. While we can’t guarantee that everyday will be sunny we can guarantee a tasty rosé and something sweet!
Our May recipe comes from a local up and coming baker, Lisa Bernard at Choux Pâtisserie! Her French style of baking and recipes are guaranteed to impress… if you’re okay with sharing. These beautiful financiers are simple yet complex bite sized treats that have been perfectly paired and hand crafted to complement our 2019 Peyton’s Place Rosé!
