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 Masia de la Luz Cava Brut. It has 4.9 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 12 dollars.

Masia de la Luz Cava Brut

Lively and intense, this Cava has beautiful notes of green apple and honey as well as refreshing acidity. Perfect as an aperitif and with any seafood-inspired recipe.
