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

Cream Sherry, Port, and Champagne are my top picks for Crepes. 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 Blanc de Bleu Cuvee Mousseux with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.
