Crostini With Fig Spread & Bubbled Brie image

I found this recipe in a local town newspaper. After having an amazing appetizer with brie at a restaurant last weekend. We thought we'd give this a shot at home. It came out amazing. the sweetness of the figs and wine coupled with the creamy brie and crusty bread was to die for!

I found the fig spread to be a bit too sweet for my taste, but the brie and crostini were delicious.
