Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti

Cream Sherry, Port, and Moscato d'Asti are great choices for Whoopie Pie. 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. You could try Bollinger Brut Special Cuvee. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 60 dollars per bottle.
