Recommended wine: Vin Santo, Moscato, Ice Wine

Pumpkin Pie on the menu? Try pairing with Vin Santo, Moscato, and Ice Wine. Vin santo is typically sweet with notes of baking spices and nuts, so it pairs really well with pumpkin spiced desserts. A good sparkling Moscato would work too, and if you feel like splurging, an ice wine. One wine you could try is Weinert Cavas de Weinert. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 26 dollars.
Weinert Cavas de Weinert
Weinert Cavas de Weinert
Deep ruby tone with purple sparkles springs up its stable and vigorous structure. Its tannic richness guarantees its longevity, but discreet ripe fruit prevails. A balanced full-bodied wine that has reminiscente fragrantes of oak on the long finish. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot.
