Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti

Cream Sherry, Port, and Moscato d'Asti are great choices for Date Bars. 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 Nature's Revenge Pet Nat rosé. It has 4.8 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.

Nature's Revenge Pet Nat Rose

Notes of raspberry and wild berries with some hints of grapefruit. After a few minutes, the wine will display some clementine and white peach aromas. The wine is truly alive. The wine is mouth-filling silky and dry (there is no residual sugar) but the fruitiness in the palate tends to make you think differently – the acidity is moderate, and the final goes onto fig jam hints with a tiny touch of saltiness (like an ocean breeze).
