Recommended wine: Madeira, Tawny Port, Pedro Ximenez

Pecan Pie works really well with Madeira, Tawny Port, and Pedro Ximénez. Sweet, nutty pecan pie deserves a wine to match - these dessert wines all have the right sweetness and the nutty notes. You could try Weinert Cavas de Weinert. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 26 dollars per bottle.

Weinert Cavas de Weinert

Deep ruby tone with purple sparkles springs up its stable and vigorous structure. Its tannic richness guarantees its longevity, but discreet ripe fruit prevails. A balanced full-bodied wine that has reminiscente fragrantes of oak on the long finish. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot.
