Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose

Dip works really well 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. One wine you could try is Nature's Revenge Pet Nat rosé. It has 4.8 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.

Nature's Revenge Pet Nat Rose

Notes of raspberry and wild berries with some hints of grapefruit. After a few minutes, the wine will display some clementine and white peach aromas. The wine is truly alive. The wine is mouth-filling silky and dry (there is no residual sugar) but the fruitiness in the palate tends to make you think differently – the acidity is moderate, and the final goes onto fig jam hints with a tiny touch of saltiness (like an ocean breeze).
