Perfect Pairings: Dessert

The golden rule is to match sweetness with sweetness — a wine drier than the dish will taste thin and harsh by comparison. Sauternes is the great benchmark; Tokaji Aszú, German Beerenauslese, Vin Santo, and Moscato d'Asti each have their place depending on the dish and occasion.

Whisky cream liqueurs make natural dessert companions, and a well-aged bourbon alongside sticky toffee pudding or a pecan-based dessert is a quietly brilliant match.
