RICOTTA-PLUM CROSTINI
Pair it with: A crisp, cool white.
This bright and refreshing sauvignon blanc from Bordeaux – mostly known for its reds – is a perfect complement to the ricotta and tangy balsamic. Its flavours also mirror the green, peppery arugula. Our pick: 2010 François Lurton Sauvignon Blanc, France, $12.
