Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Madeira, Prosecco

Florentine Cookie works really well with Cream Sherry, Madeira, and Prosecco. Sweet bubbly Prosecco doesn't overwhelm simple sugar or shortbread cookies, a sweet cream sherry complements spiced cookies, and madeira's nutty notes match cookies with nuts perfectly. The NV Amber Falls Winery Sarah's Choice Riesling with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.

NV Amber Falls Winery Sarah's Choice Riesling

This semi-sweet aromatic Riesling has a distinct "honey" bouquet. Perfectly balanced, this wine has tasting notes of ripe fruit on the front and a lingering light finish.
