Recommended wine: Madeira, Tawny Port, Pedro Ximenez

Madeira, Tawny Port, and Pedro Ximénez are my top picks for Pecan Pie. 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 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 21 dollars.
Ashbrook Estate Verdelho
Ashbrook Estate Verdelho
A vibrant, unwooded style of Verdelho with lashings of fruit aromas on the nose marrying with tropical fruit flavors and hints of spice on the palate. The wine stays focused and finishes crisp and dry yet has a powerful and refreshing length that makes this wine the perfect accompaniment to spicy, full flavored dishes. Famous for its natural acidity, this variety ages beautifully. Cellaring for more than five years rewards with complex spice and honeysuckle and developing nutty and toasty characters.
