Recommended wine: Lambrusco Dolce, Late Harvest Riesling, Sauternes

Cheesecake on the menu? Try pairing with Lambrusco Dolce, Late Harvest Riesling, 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 Vineyards Late Harvest Riesling with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 25 dollars per bottle.
