Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Champagne, Bordeaux, Moscato Dasti, White Burgundy

Crepes works really well with Cream Sherry, Port, and Champagne. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The Bollinger Brut Special Cuvee with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 60 dollars per bottle.

Bollinger Brut Special Cuvee

A golden color, distinctive of black grape varieties. Very fine bubbles. On the nose, it has a beautiful aromatic complexity, ripe fruit and spicy aromas, with hints of roasted apples, apple compote and peaches. On the palate, there is a subtle combination of structure, length and vivacity. The bubbles are like velvet. Flavors of pear, brioche and spicy aromas, notes of fresh walnut.Pair with all fish, especially sushi and sashimi, shellfish such as shrimp, prawns, crayfish and grilled lobster, poultry and white meat, cashews, parmesan or prosciutto.
