ROASTED GRAPE AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH BRUSCHETTA
Rob Beasley, the chef at the Chaumette Vineyard and Winery in Ste. Genevieve, Mo., created these bruschetta to show off the flavors of fall. He uses the coeur de clos cheese made a short drive away at Baetje Farms. It's a Camembert-style cheese from goat and sheep milk. It works well in this recipe, but a fresh chévre is perfect, too.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Remove grapes from stems, rinse under cold water, drain and pat dry. On one sheet pan, toss grapes with grapeseed or other oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and roast for 15 minutes. On another sheet pan, toss butternut squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the allspice, cinnamon, smoked paprika and thyme and roast for 10 minutes, or until just tender. Let cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, heat the port wine in a small saucepan over medium high heat until it is reduced to about 2 tablespoons of syrup. Cool to room temperature or just slightly warm. This may be done ahead and the syrup kept in the refrigerator. Bring back to room temperature or warm slightly before use.
- Roast the pecans for about 3 to 4 minutes or until they become fragrant. Cool slightly and chop.
- Slice 12 pieces from the baguette on the bias, sprinkle with remaining olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill or toast in the oven until golden brown. To assemble the bruschetta, spread each slice with about 2 tablespoons of chevre or a slice of a Camembert-style cheese and sprinkle with pecans. Then add a nice mix of squash and grapes. Using a small spoon, drizzle each piece with a thin ribbon of the port syrup.
