Recommended wine: Madeira, Pedro Ximenez, Tawny Port

Madeira, Pedro Ximénez, and Tawny Port are great choices for Pecan Pie. Sweet, nutty pecan pie deserves a wine to match - these dessert wines all have the right sweetness and the nutty notes. The Herdade Do Esporao Verdelho with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.
