Equipment

Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti

Float works really well with Cream Sherry, Port, and Moscato d'Asti. 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 Cipriani Prosecco with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.
