Sticky Toffee Pudding with Blood Orange, Tangerine, and Whipped Crème Fraîche

The toffee-cake itself is soft and mellow in flavor, with a delicate gingerlike spiciness. This makes for the ideal foundation from which the citrus ingredients can shine, and sets up the inspiration for my wine pairing. I want the wine to reflect the citrus notes in the dessert, so I opt for Muscat, like the elegant Muscat du Cap Corse from the island of Corsica. This wine has a bright marmaladelike quality of preserved orange and mandarin that mimics the fruit flavors in the recipe, allowing them to flow seamlessly from one to another on the palate.
