Live the sweet life with this wine, the equivalent of dessert in a glass. Salted caramel frosting is an ideal match with the wine's sweet Jolly Rancher and Zarex (fruit drink syrup) and red berry fruit flavors. That's no surprise as salt brightens and brings out a food’s sweet qualities.

How sweet it is! Pucker up for a delicious whimsical cake baked with thinly sliced blood oranges in a delicious mix of salty, sugary and citrusy flavors. Moscato d’Asti offers complementary mandarin orange aromas and flavors with enough light bubbles to keep the palate refreshed. Caramel frosting contrasts the sweet nature of the Moscato varietal.

An All-American dessert as classic as an upside down cake deserves an All-American rosé from good ol’ New York. Soft and light and altogether tempting, this comfort dessert nicely complements a blend of hybrid varietals local to the Finger Lakes wine region. An accessible blush wine is best offered with a dish that brings out its red berry qualities and this amalgam of whipped cream, tangy citrus fruit and light cake has all the requisite ingredients. Serve chilled.
