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. You could try Medici Ermete Concerto Lambrusco Reggiano. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 23 dollars per bottle.
