Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose

Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé are great choices for Hummus. 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 Lanson Le Black Label Brut ( half-bottle) with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 30 dollars per bottle.

Lanson Le Black Label Brut ( half-bottle)

Black Label's brilliant color recalls the characteristic straw tones of the Pinot Noir, with glints of amber. It is lively in the flute, with a fine stream of persistent bubbles. Its fresh aromas combine the impression of vitality and spring-time scents, together with hints of toast and honey. On the palate, bouquets of ripe fruits and citrus create a sensation of opulence yet lightness.
