Garnish with marigold blossoms and lemon balm if desired. Store in the refrigerator.
Recommended wine: Late Harvest Riesling, Lambrusco Dolce, Sauternes
Late Harvest Riesling, Lambrusco Dolce, 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 Raptor Ridge Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 46 dollars per bottle.
Raptor Ridge Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir
A muscular wine with a soft side, this vintage of Shea introduces itself with aromas of black cherry, dark plum, sarsaparilla, a hint of mandarin orange and an enticing meatiness. Front end silkiness leads to a mouthful of dusky cherry, cranberry and spice. Elevated acids and robust tannins offer age-worthiness and an arresting addition to your cellar. Pair with: Tea-smoked duck breast with cherry reduction soy and ginger marinated tri tip roast baked ham with cranberry glaze.
