Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Sauvignon Blanc, Port, Rose Wine, Moscato Dasti, Albarino

Bananas Foster works really well with Cream Sherry, Sauvignon Blanc, and Port. 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 Prost Rheinhessen Dry Riesling. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 15 dollars.
