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 NV Armon. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 16 dollars.

NV Armon

It is a very refreshing drink, with full berry type aromatic flavor. There are hints of dark raisins of the nose with appealing fresh Strawberry. Best served cold with ice cubes, as a dessert to any meal.
