Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Madeira, Prosecco, Port, Moscato Dasti

Cream Sherry, Madeira, and Prosecco are great choices for Sugar Cookies. 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 Sbragia Gino's Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 25 dollars per bottle.

Sbragia Gino's Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel

Gino’s Zinfandel represents a traditional field blend that my grandfather, Gino, made each year. This vintage is full of lush ripe red fruit. It has a core of sweet red currant and strawberry with a bright finish which makes this a great match for many foods. Blend: 90% Zinfandel, 5% Carignane, 5% Petite Sirah.
