Grasshoppier Pie works really well with Wine, Alcoholic Drink, and Ingredient. These wines are all sweet, which is important since wine should usually be sweeter than the food you're pairing with it. The Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 80 dollars per bottle.
Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino
Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino
Poggio Antico's Brunello di Montalcino displays deep and intense ruby red color with a well developed and persistent bouquet, and increases in intensity with further bottle aging. It has a very clean nose, with hints of blackberry and licorice. In the mouth it is rounded and concentrated, with great vitality, yet elegant and harmonious, thanks to the particularly sweet tannins. It has a very long finish and ages gracefully under proper conditions.
