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. The Herdade Do Esporao Verdelho with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.

Herdade Do Esporao Verdelho

The 2014 Verdelho has vibrant green, grassy aromas and tropical notes with hints of lime and grapefruit. On the palate this wine is fresh and elegant, with intense fruit and mineral notes leading to a long and persistent finish.
