Recommended wine: Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc, Ice Wine, White Port

Lemon Meringue Pie works really well with Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc, Ice Wine, and White Port. Since lemon meringue pie is pretty acidic, you can go with any of these sweet wines. The Saddleback Cellars Nils Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 45 dollars per bottle.

Dessert in a bottle, with the aromas of dried pear, baked apple, figs, spiced with nutmeg, clove, allspice and vanilla. Medium weight, bright and exquisitely balanced - with just the right sweetness and a lively acidity.
