Let this mixture rest for several hours or overnight for the flavors to mingle.

Then line the deep dish pie pan with your selected chilled pastry crust. I hope you are able to integrate some pureed pumpkin and corn meal into your crust, just by adding a tablespoon of each to your recipe (I have a shortcrust recipe with my peach pie on this site, if you need one).

Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir

Steak can be paired with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. The Nickel & Nickel Harris Vineyard Merlot with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 40 dollars per bottle.
