Preparation

Thread the cherry and grape tomatoes onto wooden skewers. Set aside on a large plate.
In a small pan over medium heat, combine the olive oil, Italian seasoning, oregano and chopped garlic. Season with salt and pepper and stir well.
Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring, until the garlic just barely begins to turn golden. Remove from heat, pour into a bowl and add the white wine. Stir well and set aside.
Preheat the BBQ to maximum heat, then reduce to medium. Oil the grill grates.
Place the tomato skewers on the grill and cook for about 2 minutes per side, until the tomatoes are lightly golden and starting to burst. Baste generously with the roasted garlic oil throughout cooking.
Serve immediately as a side dish, over a fresh green salad, or crushed onto a thick slice of grilled Belgian bread topped with fresh ricotta or creamy goat cheese.
