Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose

Stuffed Mushroom on the menu? Try pairing 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 Laurent-Perrier Brut ( Split) with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.

Laurent-Perrier Brut ( Split)

The flagship of Laurent-Perrier, which embodies the House style: deliciously fresh and easy to drink. The blend is composed of over 55 different Crus (with an average 94% rating). After being aged for over three years, 'Liqueur d'expedition' is added and the champagne is matured for a further six months. The result is a delicate yet complex nose, with hints of citrus fruit, and a good balanced palate. Perfect as an aperitif, is also goes very well with food.
