Recommended wine: Late Harvest Riesling, Lambrusco Dolce, Sauternes

Cheesecake on the menu? Try pairing with Late Harvest Riesling, Lambrusco Dolce, and Sauternes. 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 Vineyards Late Harvest Riesling. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 25 dollars.

Pale yellow in color, the nose opens with aromas of fresh pineapple, juicy nectarine and citrus notes. The wine fully coats the palate expressing vibrant flavors of orange blossom, tart granny smith apple and honeycomb. A long finish displays the perfect balance of sweetness and mouth-watering acidity, inviting another sip.
