Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti

Cake 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. One wine you could try is Macauley Old Vine Zinfandel. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 52 dollars.

Macauley Old Vine Zinfandel
With an initial bouquet of raspberry and a recurring note of maple, this is a full-bodied wine with freshness and acidity. It has an inviting layer of spice and hints of freshly baked cherry pie. A high-wire balancing act of weigh and freshness.Blend: 92% Zinfandel, 8% Petite Sirah
