๐ŸŒญ **The Menghini Winery Wiener**

*An upscale hot dog for the refined yet reckless wiener enthusiast.*

**Ingredients (Makes 3 Hot Dogs):**

For the Dogs:

* 3 all-beef hot dogs (natural casing preferred)
* 6โ€“9 slices of **speck** (or prosciutto), enough to fully wrap each dog
* 3 butter-toasted hot dog buns

๐Ÿง€ **Whipped Goat Cheese Spread:**

* 2 oz goat cheese (softened)
* 1 tsp honey
* 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
* Pinch of garlic powder (or as much as your vampire paranoia requires)
* Optional: splash of white wine to loosen it up

๐Ÿ‡ **Blackberry Dijon Mustard:**

* 2 tbsp seedless blackberry jam
* 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
* 1 tsp honey

**Toppings:**

* Microgreens (arugula, radish, or your fancy fave)
* 1 Fresno chili, thinly sliced

๐Ÿ”ช **Instructions:**

1. **Wrap the Dogs:**
Wrap each hot dog tightly in 2โ€“3 slices of speck. Use your hands to gently press and mold the speck around the dog so it sticks โ€” the fat will help it seal as it cooks.

2. **Grill or Griddle:**
Cook wrapped dogs over medium heat until the speck is crisp and golden. Turn frequently to avoid burning. While thatโ€™s going, toast your buns with butter until golden and crisp.

3. **Make the Mustard:**
Combine jam, Dijon, and honey in a bowl. Whisk with the worldโ€™s tiniest whisk until smooth.

4. **Whip the Cheese:**
Mix goat cheese with honey, paprika, and garlic powder. If needed, splash in a bit of white wine to loosen the mixture into a spreadable consistency. Whip until light and fluffy.

5. **Assemble the Magic:**

* Open your toasted bun.
* Spread a generous layer of whipped goat cheese on the bottom.
* Nestle in the speck-wrapped hot dog.
* Add a tangle of microgreens on top.
* Drizzle with the blackberry Dijon mustard.
* Finish with Fresno chili slices for heat and flair.

**Suggested Pairing:**

Crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a fruity Pinot Noir, or dry Merlot from Menghini Winery.
Hot dogs and wine? Absolute yes.
