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 Billecart-Salmon Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 80 dollars.

Billecart-Salmon Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru
The fine mousse of delicate bubbles elegantly accompanies the glints of its gold color. A cuvée that will surprise you with its pure intensity of dry fruits aromas, almonds and fresh hazelnuts mixed with those of fruits of white flesh. The creamy sensation of the bubble associated to aromas of buttered brioche and mineral aromas. Persistent finish with a fresh and elegant sweetness.This great bottle will make a perfect marriage with caviar or fine oysters but also with grilled fish and seafood.
