This Week in the Kitchen: Baked Brie with Rum Sauce from Work Vineyard

A flakey, sweet, savory, and gooey fan-favorite, Work Vineyard’s Baked Brie will surely win over guests. Work Vineyard suggests serving this delightful dish as a savory dessert and pairing it with the Late Work Harvest dessert wine for a sinfully delicious finish to your meal. This wine also loves being paired with a scoop of ice cream such as salty caramel, as pictured here.
