Shitake Mushroom and Fontina Crostini (BONUS RECIPE)
Ingredients
- 6 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 lb. Shitake mushrooms
- 1/2 cup shallots, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 cup St. Supéry Virtú, or other bright white wine
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped
- 1 baguette
- 1 cup Fontina cheese, coarsely grated
Remove the stems and cut the mushrooms into 1/4-inch dice. Heat 3 Tbsp of the olive oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan. Add the shallot and garlic and cook until soft but not browned. Add the mushrooms, thyme, wine and salt. Cook until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are tender - about 15 minutes. Adjust the seasoning and stir in the parsley.
For the Crostini:
Cut twelve slices from the baguette diagonally – slices should be about 3/8” thick and about 3” long. Place slices on a baking sheet and brush the tops with olive oil. Bake in a 350° oven until golden brown.
To serve: Top each crostini with a spoonful of the mushroom mixture and sprinkle with the Fontina cheese. Place the crostini back in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.

My wife and I are so pleased with the California Wine Club! Not only are the wines themselves fantastic, but we have been very appreciative of the personal service and outreach from the Club's advisors. Keep up the good work, thank you!

You have terrific customer service. My experience has been awesome all the way through the process. I got to speak to one of your representatives, Eva. She is awesome and caught a mistake I made, helped me clear it up and took excellent care of me and the order. I will gladly and wholeheartedly recommend you if I know of anyone looking to join or use a wine club.

My husband and I received a Premier membership as a Christmas gift last year. We have really enjoyed making new wine discoveries, and decided to extend our membership after it expired. We like the variety of a new red and white wine that come in a Premier box. I have personally enjoyed reading the copy of ‘Uncorked’ that accompanies each shipment. I know that hard copy magazines are a bit old school and are expensive to produce; however, its format and length are not too “committing” in this busy world. I’ve learned some new things about wines and their care and feeding, and it’s always great to read the back stories of the vintners, even those whose wines are not part of my box. Your website is also fun to explore and easy to navigate. Lastly, I have only had a couple of phone interactions with your colleagues, and they have been, without fail, helpful and gracious.
