Spicy Rosemary Roasted Cashews, a delicious accompaniment to any spread!
The season is full of gatherings, long weekends and parties — which I love — but sometimes my husband and I just want a quiet night in. For a recent cozy date night at home I put together a simple finger-food platter and made a batch of these spicy rosemary roasted cashews to snack on.
I picked up a few premade items from the grocery store, but roasted the cashews myself. They’re quick to prepare, great for nibbling during a casual evening and make a thoughtful homemade gift if you want to share them. We enjoyed them so much I’ll be making another batch soon.
Of course a little sparkling wine made the night even better. Gloria Ferrer was our choice — smooth, tasty and a lovely alternative to Champagne at a more approachable price point.
Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards, founded by the Ferrer family of Spain, is Carneros’ original sparkling wine house. The winery opened in 1986 in southern Sonoma County and consistently produces wines that punch above their price point in smoothness and flavor.
For our tray I served the rosemary roasted cashews alongside marinated olives, Colby Jack cheese, spicy pickles and hummus with an assortment of crackers. A few fresh cranberries and rosemary sprigs added a festive touch.

Fragrant and addictive, these cashews pair beautifully with a glass of sparkling wine for an easy, satisfying snack.
Gloria Ferrer was the first sparkling wine house in Sonoma Carneros and helped introduce French clones to the region’s vineyards, contributing to the area’s winemaking legacy.
