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

Vin Santo, Late Harvest Riesling, and Lambrusco Dolce are great choices 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 Vineyards Late Harvest Riesling with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 25 dollars per bottle.

Vineyards Late Harvest Riesling

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.
