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. One wine you could try is Snake River Late Harvest Riesling. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 16 dollars.

Snake River Late Harvest Riesling

Made from the grapes left to hang on the vine in our estate Arena Valley Vineyard, Late Harvest Riesling is our original dessert wine. Our 2011 has a limeade nose with a hint of minerals and a honey finish. Enjoy this wine with fruit based desserts or as a refreshing aperitif.
