Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges.

Recommended wine: Vin Santo, Late Harvest Riesling, Lambrusco Dolce
Vin Santo, Late Harvest Riesling, and Lambrusco Dolce are my top picks for Pie. These wines are all sweet, which is important since wine should usually be sweeter than the food you're pairing with it. The Le Grand Courtage Blanc de Blancs Brut with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.

Le Grand Courtage Blanc de Blancs Brut
The bouquet presents hints of green apple, honeysuckle, and toasted brioche. On the palate, a delicate balance of dryness and acidity lingers with a bit of Meyer lemon, honeydew and soft floral notes. The Blanc de Blancs Brut is very cuisine and cocktail-friendly. Try it with savory hors d'oeuvres, buttered popcorn, creamy pasta dishes, fried chicken, spicy Asian dishes, seafood, fruit-based desserts or semi-soft cheese. Mix with elderflower or fruit liqueurs, or fresh juice and quality spirits for a light, refreshing sparkling cocktail.The Blend: Chardonnay imparts depth and complexity for the overall balance while Chenin Blanc lends citrus and hints of honey for a creamy texture. Colombard's higher acidity provides structure, length and a pleasant minerality that is supplemented by the Ugni Blanc's fruit profile. Grapes are sourced from quality terroirs in France, such as Burgundy and Loire Valley.
