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

Port, Vin Santo, and Late Harvest Riesling are great choices for Pie. These wines are all sweet, which is important since wine should usually be sweeter than the food you're pairing with it. One wine you could try is NV Hunt Country Vineyards Ruby Port Estate Bottled. It has 4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 17 dollars.

NV Hunt Country Vineyards Ruby Port Estate Bottled

A personal favorite of our director of wine production Jonathan Hunt. Put your feet up after work or after dinner, sip our Ruby Port, and relax. This wine features rich berry notes and a long, smooth finish. Our smooth and hearty Ruby Port begins with a blend of Corot Noir and Chambourcin wines. We then fortify the blend with 100% grape brandy (distilled spirits) and sweeten it to bring all the flavors into perfect balance. Serve at cool room temperature.
