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. One wine you could try is Chateau Chantal Late Harvest Riesling. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 21 dollars.
