Bake Brie with Blueberries is the perfect summer-tasting appetizer or snack. No matter what time of year it is. It’s even better with a cold glass of vodka sangria, some good friends, and a silly bulldog (if you’re really lucky).

We were blessed with such a trifecta a few nights ago when it was manifested by the combination of our friends Tim and Dianne, some sauvignon blanc from Kim Crawford, and a heavenly wheel of baked brie topped with blueberries and peaches, fresh from the tree of our good friends, Nik and Alice.

I can’t think of a better way to start an August day than to get a text message from a friend stating there is a bag of fresh peaches from his tree, waiting for me.  I had this experience a few days ago and when I arrived at my locker at work.

There sat 2 or 3 pounds of the most beautiful and soft dwarf peaches I had ever laid eyes on.  Who knew peaches grew in Wisconsin.

July may be national blueberry month but even in mid-August, we are swamped with pints and pints of fresh berries throughout.

We’ve touched upon the perfect friendship between peaches and blueberries in the past with some terrific muffins, surely there have to be other equally delicious combinations.  I came across a score of ideas using the two of these together with a favorite delicacy of my favorite man, Scott.

Now I have found myself on this sweltering mid-August afternoon with some delicious and fresh fruit, and a succulent wheel of brie cheese.

This was going to be too good to not share with some friends – and so I was delighted to get a confirmation from our friend Diane stating that she and her husband Tim would be happy to join us for a treat later in the evening, with the qualification they would likely be thirsty at the close of such a hot day.

And so on this sweltering August evening, we hung around our kitchen with some great friends, excellent wine, and a delicious treat.

As the evening faded away, thus followed the brie and the wine.  We bantered about life, talked with anticipation of the upcoming union celebration between Scott and myself, and began the discussion about a joint vacation at dates yet to be determined.

This was a night about what in my opinion should be a component of any full life; good food, good friends, and good wine.
