Recommended wine: Lambrusco Dolce, Late Harvest Riesling, Sauternes

Lambrusco Dolce, Late Harvest Riesling, and Sauternes are my top picks for Cheesecake. White dessert wines are a safe pick for cheesecake (without chocolate), but a sweet lambrusco will be so good with classic strawberry cheesecake. You could try Vineyards Late Harvest Riesling. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 25 dollars per bottle.
