Recommended wine: Lambrusco Dolce, Late Harvest Riesling, Vin Santo

Lambrusco Dolce, Late Harvest Riesling, and Vin Santo are great choices for Pie. These wines are all sweet, which is important since wine should usually be sweeter than the food you're pairing with it. You could try Chateau Chantal Late Harvest Riesling. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 21 dollars per bottle.
