Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti

Cream Sherry, Port, and Moscato d'Asti are great choices for Torte. 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 NV Amber Falls Winery Sarah's Choice Riesling. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 16 dollars.

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.
