Recommended wine: Late Harvest Riesling, Lambrusco Dolce, Sauternes
Cheesecake works really well with Late Harvest Riesling, Lambrusco Dolce, and Sauternes. White dessert wines are a safe pick for cheesecake (without chocolate), but a sweet lambrusco will be so good with classic strawberry cheesecake. The Angel Late Harvest Riesling with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.
Angel Late Harvest Riesling
Messina Hof's Angel is a crisp, sweet dessert wine, harvested from the last pick of Riesling when the grapes are almost raisins. Perfect with fruit, cheesecake and light, sweet chocolate desserts.
