Looking for new and different recipe ideas for a California Cabernet Sauvignon wine tasting.I would love to make some small plates and Hors d'oeuvres.

Parmigiano Reggiano cheese - make sure you get a fresh hunk - is SO fabulous with Cabernet Sauvignon. Make sure you serve some just as it is.

in my town there is at least one restaurant that pairs its dishes with wines. you could like online at restaurants that specialize in pairings and get some ideas that way.

I would serve a cheese from the same region of California? Where is the Cab from? It could go well with a Cowgirl Creamery Mt. Tam triple cream or a Humbolt Fog goat cheese. Riconada Farm on the Central Coast does a Pozu Tomme which is a semi-hard cheese and quite good.

Mixed olives (from an olive bar) with other pickles items and small bowls of salted nuts do it for me! I would also use many of Phil's suggestions.

Definitely some red meet. RIbs, or short ribs would be nice. portobello mushrooms, toast some baguette slices, top fresh ricotta cheese and some sauteed mushrooms. small plates with cheese and salami , cheddar & Gouda. grilled polenta rounds, mini meatballs or burger sliders. sliced filet mignon on cracker or bread. grilled skirt steak , sliced and wrapped in small flour tortillas. Let me know what you decide to make or if you need more ideas or details.
