Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Moscato Dasti, Port, Sparkling Rose, Sparkling Wine

Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port are my top picks for Puff Pastry Tart. 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. One wine you could try is NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.
