What pairs well with fig wine? I am going to make some homemade fig wine this year and would like to know what pairs well with fig wine.

Here is the recipe I am planning to use: Fresh Fig Wine


  The common fig (Ficus carica) is most often eaten as dried fruit and rarely used fresh. It's not very sweet, so a true fig wine requires a great deal of additional sugar for the fig juice to ferment to completion. This recipe makes one gallon and can be easily adjusted for another quantity. The special supplies for this recipe are readily available at stores that sell wine-making supplies. - How to Make Fig Wine
I don't know the taste of fig wine, but I do love figs, both fresh and dried, so I'm thinking it's along the lines of fruit cake (not a fave), minus the rum or brandy, but with it's own alcoholic pleasure (very much a fave). Some suggestions:

Charcuterie: bacon, ham, sausage, terrines, galantines, ballotines, pâtés, confit

Cheeses: goat, blue, Gorgonzola, camembert, Stilton, brie, mascarpone

Grilled: veg (corn on the cob, tomatoes), chicken (spicy or citrus), fish (tuna, swordfish)

And, from my New York Times Recipe Box:

Savories: particularly those that are light and those with citrus or sharp flavors...
 - Grapefruit with olive oil and sea salt
 - Onion &amp; feta pizza
 - Vegetable galette
 - Mustard tarte

Sweets: especially flourless cakes...
 - Almond Cake with Cardamom and Pistachio
 - Orange and Almond Cake
 - Hazelnut Citrus Torte
 - Chamomile and Almond Cake
