Recommended wine: Madeira, Pedro Ximenez, Tawny Port

Pecan Pie works really well with Madeira, Pedro Ximénez, and Tawny Port. Sweet, nutty pecan pie deserves a wine to match - these dessert wines all have the right sweetness and the nutty notes. One wine you could try is Ashbrook Estate Verdelho. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 20 dollars.
