Having a glass of wine with dessert is something that can actually be hard to pair with in these warmer months because creamier desserts can come off as a bit cloying and off with most wine. Ice cream especially can often be thought of as an impossible pairing but when done correctly there is a way to have ice cream and wine. An easy way to enjoy the two together is to pick an ice cream with a fruit flavor, or even better sherbet, and pick a sweet and light wine with either a light fruit flavor or a more clear flavor like champagne. Of course strawberry ice cream is not for everyone, for those that like plain vanilla pairing ice cream with wine is actually even easier. For vanilla ice cream pick a nice sherry with a rich flavor. Sherry will add the raisen, caramel or walnut hints that are common toppings for vanilla ice cream. The vanilla creaminess of the ice cream add a deeper level of taste to the wine, making it a part of the dessert.
So the so called inpossible pairing can end up working out wonderfully with a little wine info as to what to put in two bottle wine totes.
