I LOVE dessert wines. They are the perfect finish to a fantastic dinner or just an enjoyable way to end the day. However, just pairing them with any 'dessert' can be disastrous. It takes finesse and planning to pair them well, and sometimes, it's easier to pair them with a cheese plate or enjoy them on their own as a Liquid Desert. We'll discuss Port, Sherry, and Madeira, the fortified sweet and dry wines. And then we'll talk about Moscato d'Asti, Demi-Sec Champagne and other sweet sparklers like Brachetto d'Acqi. We'll include the incredible French wines from Sauternes and Barsac, the California sweet wines, and we'll even head over to Australia for a few sips of dessert! We'll go 'in depth' on why they're difficult to pair with food and how to err on the side of caution. We'll truly be going Around the World in a Glass with this episode, so be prepared to suffer a little jetlag wine style! It'll be a tasty week of sugar and spice.
