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

Lambrusco Dolce, Late Harvest Riesling, and Vin Santo are my top picks for Pie. These wines are all sweet, which is important since wine should usually be sweeter than the food you're pairing with it. The Chateau Chantal Late Harvest Riesling with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 21 dollars per bottle.
