Lemon tart
Lemon tart is sweet and buttery, but the filling is as sharp as anything on a dessert menu, so the wine must be at least as sweet and carry searing acidity of its own. A sweet wine without that acidity tastes flat and cloying against the lemon. A citrus or honeyed character meets the curd best.
