I'm going to a friends Italian wine tasting. He says I don't need to bring anything, but I'd like to bring an appetizer to share. I don't have much experience with Italian food, so I could use some help.

Any ideas?

Without knowing what wines or what region's wines, it's hard to make a blind recommendation. But, in general, you won't go wrong with something featuring mushrooms.

a plate of proscuitto and Italian cheeses would cover some bases.

You're totally right. I don't have a way of knowing what will be served, so it puts me at a disadvantage.

Perhaps I'll do a cheese plate. If anyone has any specific recommendations, let me know - I have access to a couple of places with wide selections. I'll dig through some cookbooks and look at mushroom ideas as well.
