Recommended wine: Late Harvest Riesling, Lambrusco Dolce, Sauternes

Cheesecake works really well with Late Harvest Riesling, Lambrusco Dolce, 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 Chateau Chantal Late Harvest Riesling with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 21 dollars per bottle.
