Recommended wine: Late Harvest Riesling, Lambrusco Dolce, Sauternes

Late Harvest Riesling, Lambrusco Dolce, and Sauternes are my top picks for Cheesecake. White dessert wines are a safe pick for cheesecake (without chocolate), but a sweet lambrusco will be so good with classic strawberry cheesecake. One wine you could try is Snake River Late Harvest Riesling. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 16 dollars.

Made from the grapes left to hang on the vine in our estate Arena Valley Vineyard, Late Harvest Riesling is our original dessert wine. Our 2011 has a limeade nose with a hint of minerals and a honey finish. Enjoy this wine with fruit based desserts or as a refreshing aperitif.
