Pancetta Stuffed Mushrooms

Last week my Husband hosted his french wine group here for a tasting of really expensive Burgundies.
And, being the fabulous wife that I am, I offered to make a few snacks.
Now this is not dinner. Just wine and a few snacks.
The Hub had already picked up some nice runny stinky french cheeses, crispy little cornichons ,wafer crackers and fruit.
However, I think you really need a little more substance when consuming wine.
It being a congregation of men, something with bacon in or on it seemed appropriate.
Also, it had to be bite size, and finger food, these guys don’t want to fuss with plates and forks and such (wine glasses are different category altogether).
So stuffed mushrooms seemed the perfect accompaniment.
When I checked at the end of the event the platter was empty.
Sadly, so was the magnum of 2002 Moulin a Vent.
