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. The Blanc de Bleu Cuvee Mousseux with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.

Blanc de Bleu Cuvee Mousseux

Blanc de Bleu is a premium California Chardonnay wine with an added hint of blueberries and is a delicate sparkling wine reserved for memorable celebrations. It offers seductive flavors and fresh aromatic effervescence - vividly pasteled with blueberries. All of this is contained in an impressively sexy bottle with tasteful flair.The fruit for Blanc de Bleu is grown in the quiet vineyards of Northern California, known for their cool and clear breezes - ideal conditions for the exclusive grapes and soils that accentuate the profoundly flavorful characteristics. This sparkling wine pairs well with appetizers, sushi and very light meals.
