Instructions
Remove core from the cabbage.
Place cabbage in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil; after about 3 minutes, outer leaves should be tender enough to remove. Return to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until leaves are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Remove the tough center stalk from each leaf; reserve extra leaves and line a large baking dish with them. (If leaves for rolling are too brittle, return to boiling water for 1-2 minutes.)
Combine meat, rice, onion, egg and seasonings.
Place about 2 tablespoons of meat mixture on each cabbage leaf.
Roll toward the stalk, tucking in sides.
Place rolls, seam side down, in a baking dish.
Combine sauce ingredients; pour over rolls. Cover and bake at 350° for 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours.
Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose
Antipasti can be paired with Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé. 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. The Raptor Ridge Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 46 dollars per bottle.

Raptor Ridge Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir
A muscular wine with a soft side, this vintage of Shea introduces itself with aromas of black cherry, dark plum, sarsaparilla, a hint of mandarin orange and an enticing meatiness. Front end silkiness leads to a mouthful of dusky cherry, cranberry and spice. Elevated acids and robust tannins offer age-worthiness and an arresting addition to your cellar. Pair with: Tea-smoked duck breast with cherry reduction soy and ginger marinated tri tip roast baked ham with cranberry glaze.
