Dipping Sauce works really well with Sparkling rosé and Sparkling Wine. 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 Martini & Rossi Sparkling rosé with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.
