🍓 Fruit Tart & Champagne
Why it works: The vibrant citrus and crisp acidity in Champagne brighten up the fruit while cutting through the richness of the tart crust.
Try with: Louis Roederer Brut
🍫 Chocolate Cake & Cabernet Sauvignon
Why it works: Dense, fudgy chocolate cake stands up beautifully to the dark fruit, firm tannins, and depth of a bold Cabernet.
Try with: Napa Cab or Red Blend
🍋 Lemon Bars & Sauvignon Blanc
Why it works: The zesty acidity in Sauvignon Blanc mirrors the tartness of the lemon, while its grassy notes offer a refreshing contrast to the sweetness.
Try with: Loire Valley Sancerre or New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc
🍪 Sugar Cookies & Prosecco
Why it works: Light, buttery sugar cookies meet their match in the festive fizz and gentle sweetness of Prosecco.
Try with: Dry Prosecco for a balanced bite
🥧 Pecan Pie & Pinot Noir
Why it works: The nutty richness of pecan pie plays well with the soft tannins and red berry fruit in Pinot Noir. A silky Pinot brings elegance to every forkful.
Try with: Oregon or Burgundy Pinot Noir
🍓 Strawberry Shortcake & Rosé
Why it works: Fruity, floral Rosé enhances the berries while refreshing acidity balances the cream and cake.
Try with: Provence-style Rosé or Sparkling Rosé
🍰 Vanilla Cupcakes & Chardonnay
Why it works: The creamy vanilla flavors in both the frosting and cake are echoed in an oak-aged Chardonnay, while the wine’s acidity keeps things from getting too heavy.
Try with: California or Burgundy Chardonnay
🍥 Macarons & Moscato
Why it works: Light, airy macarons pair beautifully with the floral aromas and gentle sweetness of Moscato. The wine’s low alcohol and bright fruit notes (think peach and orange blossom) make it a perfect match for the delicate almond crunch and creamy filling of macarons.
Try with: A fruity Moscato
Celebrate boldly. Sip joyfully. And don’t forget dessert.
