Recommended wine: Late Harvest Riesling, Lambrusco Dolce, Sauternes

Cheesecake on the menu? Try pairing 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 Medici Ermete Concerto Lambrusco Reggiano with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.
