Wine ideas: This dish combines dessert and after-dinner booze in one dish, but if you did want to take it over the top, you might try a small glass of chilled Moscato d’Asti. This sweet, sparkling wine from northern Italy is light enough it won’t overwhelm the dish. Michele Chiarlo and Palladino are good, easy-to-find examples for less than $20. Tara Q. Thomas
