Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Champagne, Bordeaux, Moscato Dasti, White Burgundy

Cream Sherry, Port, and Champagne are my top picks for Crepes. 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 Raptor Ridge Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 46 dollars per bottle.

Raptor Ridge Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir

A muscular wine with a soft side, this vintage of Shea introduces itself with aromas of black cherry, dark plum, sarsaparilla, a hint of mandarin orange and an enticing meatiness. Front end silkiness leads to a mouthful of dusky cherry, cranberry and spice. Elevated acids and robust tannins offer age-worthiness and an arresting addition to your cellar. Pair with: Tea-smoked duck breast with cherry reduction soy and ginger marinated tri tip roast baked ham with cranberry glaze.
