Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose

Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Antipasti. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. One wine you could try is Barefoot Bubbly Extra Dry. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 15 dollars.

Barefoot Bubbly Extra Dry
Barefoot Bubbly Extra Dry Champagne offers aromas of ripe apple complemented by hints of citrus. Toasty flavors complement the creamy, lingering finish. Best served chilled (36-40 °F), this bubbly is perfectly balanced with multiple layers of fruit to delight the palate.
