Pair Desserts with Sweet Dessert Wines
Desserts. These are an extreme extension of category 1 in the sense they are sweet dishes paired with off-dry or sweet wines. Virtually all desserts are sweet. Even lemon or rhubarb's tartness is balanced by adding more sugar. Another factor is that there is not a lot of salt added to desserts. On the red side the general rule of thumb is to serve dessert wines that are sweeter than the dessert. This is because they are all acid balanced. This acid will become more pronounced when you have a sweet dessert. If the dessert wine is sweeter than the dessert you don't notice the change in the wines acidity as much. Many times it is assumed that a sweet wine will combine with the sweetness of the dessert but actually it is just the opposite. The wine will generally be perceived as less sweet or crisper.
Wines: Recioto, Madeira, Sweet Sherry, Port, Muscat , Riesling, Vin Santo, Sauternes, Tokaji, Ice Wine
Foods:
• Chocolate desserts: flourless chocolate cake, brownies, mousses, truffles
• Creamy desserts: crème brulee, cheesecake, pastry cream, ice cream
• Fruit desserts: stone fruit, apples, pears, citrus, tropical, berries
• Caramel and nut desserts: pecan pie, almond tart
• Cakes, cookies, pastries
• Strong blue cheeses
I didn't know if you wanted wines, mixed drinks, sodas, hot or cold drinks, etc......

Milk goes best with chocolate cake. Cheese cake calls for tea.

I think water would be the best compliment to chocolate and cheese cake. coz you have to neutralize the sweet taste of both cakes.

If you are looking for an Alcoholic beverage, Baileys for an Irish Coffee would be great. Or Starbucks also has a nice Coffee Liquor out there that is really yummy!

I would think Milk or coffee, depending on if you like either of the two. Also, hot tea would probably be good too.

nice chocolatey or amaretto liqueur.
