Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti

Macaroons works really well with Cream Sherry, Port, and Moscato d'Asti. 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 Terra d'Oro Home Vineyard Zinfandel with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.

Terra d'Oro Home Vineyard Zinfandel

The 2008 Home Vineyard Zinfandel has a decadent nose, rich with raspberry, cinnamon,peppery currants and spice. Ripe fruit and nicely spiced flavors settle into soft, subtle, silkytannins. The richness of this wine beautifully balances duck, roasted rabbit, or game henpaired with grilled vegetables.
