Dinner - Wine to drink and with the food

I wanted to try cooking with wine on my own so I did just that.  I went with my financee to the grocery store and we found a good South american wine:
Name: Frontera
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot
Region:
Country: Chile
Year:
Price: $8

We also bought some fancy cheese.  We spent about 10 minutes looking at all of our options.  We decided to go with a chipolte Gouda and buffalo Gouda.  I like the chipolte but the buffalo was way to hot and required a cup of water per bite.

Good Cheese
Lastly we picked up some 4 cheese past sauce and three chicken breasts.  We prepared the meal by opening up the chicken and placing different combinations of cheese in each one: two with just one type of cheese and one that was mixed.  We covered the chickens with various spices, olive oil, and the wine!  Then it baked for 45 minutes.

Prepared for baking, note the wine and olive oil 

Before eating we also mixed some wine into the heated four cheese sauce we purchased which turned it purple and then poured it all the chicken.  It was then devoured.

Finished chicken!
The food was excellent and I would eat it again.
Full, happy people (notice the empty plate!)
More happy people
