There is so much I love about the beach. The days spent on the beach or boating on the bay. One of my favorite times of the day is watching the sunset over the bay. Everyone gathers on our deck after a full day to watch this event, chat about their day and enjoy cocktails and hors d'oueveres before dinner.
Some of my favorite conversations have been had over wine and cheese on the deck. It's a wonderful time for everyone to share their water experiences. Speaking of cheese ... our local cheese store on Long Beach Island has made me basically obsessed with one of their cheeses. At their suggestion, I tried a piece of their cheese rubbed in espresso. I was hooked!
Bellavitano Espresso CheeseI think my wine always tastes much better when I am sipping from my starfish red wine glass. Can it be the amount of wine this glass can hold?
Starfish GlasswareAfter a day on the beach, or boating on the bay, our family and guests gather on our deck for our pre-dinner cocktails and hors d'ouevres. We always have a selection of cheese from my new-found favorite Bellavistano Espresso to simple mozzarella.
As I love all of the serving pieces we stock at By the Sea Decor, I own many of them and enjoy using them especially for our gathering time. Our cheese is always served on the Granite Cheese tray shown below:
Chips and dip are usually housed in one of these beautiful serving platters:
