Recommended wine: Sparkling Rose, Sparkling Wine

Sparkling rosé and Sparkling Wine are my top picks for Raita. 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 Santa Margherita Sparkling rosé with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 22 dollars per bottle.
