Since most appetizers and finger foods are fatty a wine with acidity is called for, say, sparkling wine. It not only stands up to the fat, sparkling wine has the added value of clearing the palate, which the residue of many appetizers and especially finger foods demand. But sparkling wine and salt are not good partners (salt and any wine makes for a bad relationship). So forego the caviar and sparkling, at least until you can get your hands on caviar that has not been adulterated with additions of salt as preservative.
