Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti

Cupcakes 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. One wine you could try is Faire La Fete Cremant de Limoux. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 17 dollars.

Faire La Fete Cremant de Limoux

Light golden in color with vibrant aromas and flavors of baked apple, white cherry and lemon meringue. From gourmet caviar and oysters to popcorn, Faire la Fête is a versatile wine that pairs well with a range of dishes and cuisines. Try with an Asian pear salad, spicy tuna rolls, or pork chops and applesauce.Blend: 70% Chardonnay, 20% Chenin Blanc, 10% Pinot Noir
