Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti

Cream Sherry, Port, and Moscato d'Asti are great choices for Macaroons. 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 Blue Fish Sweet Riesling with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.

Blue Fish Sweet Riesling

Pale gold. Seductive perfume of fresh apricot, peaches, and ripe pineapple. Fruity sweetness with a full-bodied structure and refreshing acidity. Complements shellfish, mussels, Asian-inspired cuisine, and mild cheeses.
