my favorite appetizer

brushetta is my all time favorite appetizer..ever. i could really care less who makes it. i go to fancy restaurants and order it, i make it, my friends make it, i will even admit i kinda like olive garden's version. so as you can see my standards are really not super high.
when my mom was in town in june, we took a mini road trip up to sonoma to do some wine tasting. one of our favorite wineries was chateau st. jean. mainly because they had bread pieces you dip in grape seed oil and after a few glasses of wine bread dipped in anything is amazing. well, i wound up buying garlic flavored grape seed oil and let me tell you it was a great half-drunk-purchase. i sliced up some heirloom tomatoes, grabbed some fresh mozzarella and basil, then drizzled some of that garlic oil on--and it was awesome. one last thing. get great bread to go with this. it makes such a difference!
