Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti

Tart 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 Villa Jolanda Moscato and Peach with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.

Villa Jolanda Moscato And Peach

Brilliant, straw-yellow color, quite intense and aromatic. A delicious peach-flavored sparkling that is delicate and sweet. Perfect with dessert and especially with pastries
