Wine Suggestions:

Tangy feta cheese and tart lime juice give these wraps a little attitude, so

you'll want a wine that will balance these flavors but will also go nicely with

the rich silkiness of the avocado. A chilled Barboursville Sauvignon Blanc from

Virginia would be a good choice.

NOTES : As wrappers for this savory mixture, this colorful luncheon or supper

dish borrows flour tortillas from Tex-Mex cooking. Present the tortillas open,

and let guests or family members do the wrapping up themselves. Offer corn or

tortilla soup to start, and a butterscotch pudding or flan for dessert
