Recommended wine: Ice Wine, Moscato, Vin Santo

Ice Wine, Moscato, and Vin Santo are great choices for Pumpkin Pie. Vin santo is typically sweet with notes of baking spices and nuts, so it pairs really well with pumpkin spiced desserts. A good sparkling Moscato would work too, and if you feel like splurging, an ice wine. You could try Renwood Amador Ice, Ice Wine. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 35 dollars per bottle.
