Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Sparkling Wine, Port, Riesling, Moscato Dasti, Zinfandel

Sweet Potato Pie works really well with Cream Sherry, Sparkling Wine, and Port. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. One wine you could try is Medici Ermete Concerto Lambrusco Reggiano. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 23 dollars.
