Recommended wine: Vin Santo, Late Harvest Riesling, Lambrusco Dolce

Pie works really well with Vin Santo, Late Harvest Riesling, and Lambrusco Dolce. These wines are all sweet, which is important since wine should usually be sweeter than the food you're pairing with it. You could try Chateau Chantal Late Harvest Riesling. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 21 dollars per bottle.
