Suggested Pairings

Fissata Red, New York

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.

Tanglerose 2010 Sweet American Rosé

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.
