Recommended wine: Lambrusco Dolce, Late Harvest Riesling, Vin Santo

Pie works really well with Lambrusco Dolce, Late Harvest Riesling, and Vin Santo. These wines are all sweet, which is important since wine should usually be sweeter than the food you're pairing with it. You could try Snake River Late Harvest Riesling. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 16 dollars per bottle.
