Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Chianti, Verdicchio, Sparkling Rose, Trebbiano

Sparkling Wine, Chianti, and Verdicchio are my top picks for Crostini. 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 Graham Beck Bliss Nectar with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 21 dollars per bottle.

Graham Beck Bliss Nectar

For those who do not like it dry, the Graham Beck Demi-Sec is a fine excuse for self-indulgence and frivolity. Light yeasty aromas, with hints of butterscotch, honey and praline, this delectable bubbly will stimulate your sweeter senses.Blend: 39% Chardonnay, 61% Pinot Noir
