Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

Antipasti 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. You could try NV ONEHOPE Brut. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 20 dollars per bottle.

NV ONEHOPE Brut

ONEHOPE California Brut Champagne Sparkling Wine is light in color and displays aromas of fresh green apple and nectarine with a hint of fresh baked bread. Crisp, intriguing fresh fruit reminiscent of succulent peach, sweet berries and pear linger on the plate, finishing with creamy and refreshing bubbles. This Brut Sparkling Wine can be paired with appetizers, seafood, sushi as well as a wide range of desserts and cheeses.

Instructions

In a deep, heavy saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and add the onions, celery and basil. Saute until the celery and onions are just beginning to get tender. Add the water/stock, the potatoes, ham and the pepper. Cook until potatoes are tender. Mix the cornstarch (the amount is not a typo) with the 3/4 cup water. Slowly add enough of the cornstarch/water mixture (you may not have to add it all, do it in small steps) to produce a VERY THICK mixture. The spoon should practically stand up in this. It should be the consistency of a very thick pudding. Stir constantly until the mixture bubbles. GRADUALLY add cream, stirring constantly, to thin the soup out to the desired consistency. You may have to use MORE cream, depending on the desired thickness. I like mine thick, like stew, so the 1 cup of cream works well. Your mileage may vary. *Add salt if you feel it needs some. Heat through (do not boil) and serve with a salad or crusty roll.
