Answers.Body: <p>I don't know the taste of fig wine, but I do love figs, both fresh and dried, so I'm thinking it's along the lines of fruit cake (not a fave), minus the rum or brandy, but with it's own alcoholic pleasure (very much a fave). Some suggestions:</p>

Comments.Text: Probably should be more specific so as to focus the answers.  Cakes?  Cheeses or yogurts?  Mushrooms?  Are you looking for variety in the entrée or in the dessert?  Is the drink to be served in courses, or are you simply planning to have guests who will serve themselves come for visit?

  I don't know the taste of fig wine, but I do love figs, both fresh and dried, so I'm thinking it's along the lines of fruit cake (not a fave), minus the rum or brandy, but with it's own alcoholic pleasure (very much a fave). Some suggestions:
  
  **Charcuterie**: bacon, ham, sausage, terrines, galantines, ballotines, pâtés, confit
  
  **Cheeses**: goat, blue, Gorgonzola, camembert, Stilton, brie, mascarpone
  
  **Grilled**: veg (corn on the cob, tomatoes), chicken (spicy or citrus), fish (tuna, swordfish)
  
  And, from my [New York Times Recipe Box](https://cooking.nytimes.com):
  
  **Savories**: particularly those that are light and those with citrus or sharp flavors...
