Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti

Dessert 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 Taittinger Brut La Francaise. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 45 dollars.

Taittinger Brut La Francaise

This Champagne is a blend of some 30 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards, respectively 40% and 60% of the total, from several harvests of perfectly ripened grapes.
