Notes

  1. Any color will work, preferably not extra-large ones.
  2. If you are a huge goat cheese lover, feel free to use goat cheese only.
  3. Make sure to buy a goat cheese log. Another type of goat cheese will not work well in this recipe.
  4. This recipe yields 16-18 pieces. It will serve 4 people when counting 4 bites per head. However, when served alongside other appetizers, you can count with 2-3 cheese wrapped grapes per person.
  5. You might get less/more pieces depending on how large the grapes that you are using are.
  6. For best results chill these grapes wrapped in cheese for about 1 hour. They can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the fridge overnight.
