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

Vin Santo, Late Harvest Riesling, and Lambrusco Dolce 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. One wine you could try is Famille Vincent Cremant de Bourgogne. It has 4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 24 dollars.

Famille Vincent Cremant de Bourgogne

From the Chardonnay grapes this sparkler allies freshness, body, and smoothness. The Cremant Brut is dry and offers fine bubbles (1.5 Million/30 minutes - we counted them but you do not have to believe me for this!), hints of flowers at the nose, crisp and fruity on the palate. It is a great Classic for all festive occasions.
