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

Pie works really well with Vin Santo, Late Harvest Riesling, and Lambrusco Dolce. These wines are all sweet, which is important since wine should usually be sweeter than the food you're pairing with it. The Angel Late Harvest Riesling with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.

Angel Late Harvest Riesling

Messina Hof's Angel is a crisp, sweet dessert wine, harvested from the last pick of Riesling when the grapes are almost raisins. Perfect with fruit, cheesecake and light, sweet chocolate desserts.
