For the Caprese, imagine a crisp Pinot Grigio, while the Mediterranean Medley pairs beautifully with a lively Rosé. Our Arugula-Prosciutto combination? A light-bodied Chianti, of course. Does the Roasted Veggie salad sing with a Sauvignon Blanc and the Citrus-Beet salad? A sparkling Prosecco. As for presentation, imagine serving them on rustic wooden boards or vintage ceramic plates. And always remember, Burrata is best served slightly chilled – a perfect juxtaposition to the warmth of your heart.
