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 Pro-Bono Riesling with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.
