Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose

Antipasti works really well 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 NV Paques et Fils with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 36 dollars per bottle.

NV Paques et Fils

A very pretty pale pink. Scented with cherries and hydrangea. A spirited rose with tart strawberry on the palate and brisk acidity on the finish, it is refined and sophisticated, but not at all snooty. A perfect brunch wine. Excellent value.
