Recommended wine: Madeira, Pedro Ximenez

Madeiran and Pedro Ximénez are my top picks for Bread Pudding. Pedro Ximénez's sweet, nutty flavor with notes of figs and caramel pair so well with bread pudding. Madeiran is another option - you can even find recipes using madeiran in the bread pudding! The Ashbrook Estate Verdelho with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 21 dollars per bottle.

Ashbrook Estate Verdelho

A vibrant, unwooded style of Verdelho with lashings of fruit aromas on the nose marrying with tropical fruit flavors and hints of spice on the palate. The wine stays focused and finishes crisp and dry yet has a powerful and refreshing length that makes this wine the perfect accompaniment to spicy, full flavored dishes. Famous for its natural acidity, this variety ages beautifully. Cellaring for more than five years rewards with complex spice and honeysuckle and developing nutty and toasty characters.
