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 Red Tail Ridge Estate Dry Riesling. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.
Red Tail Ridge Estate Dry Riesling
Aromas of lime juice, Meyer lemon, nectarine, and candied ginger. Softer mineral notes with vanilla and poached pear follow with a bit of starfruit. On the palate, more lime and stone fruit are present, coupled with dried pineapple, white cranberry and touches of brown spices. Acidity hits mid-palate uplifting the mouth-filling texture and extending the finish with white flowers and guava.
