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 Maximin Grunhauser Riesling Abstberg Grosses Gewachs with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 63 dollars per bottle.

Maximin Grunhauser Riesling Abstberg Grosses Gewachs
Grunhaus is relatively new to GG production, having only joined the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter) in 2015. They make two GGs - Herrenberg and Abstberg. Abtsberg reigns supreme, derived from deep blue slate soils. It exhibits telltale aromas and flavors of white peach, apricot, spring flowers and green herbs. A thrilling streak of citrusy acidity wakes up the palate and reveals the deep mineral and herbal facets of this extraordinary complex Riesling. There is no lack of fruit - the peach, apple and mango shine throughout - but it’s the haunting earthiness and filigreed detail of this wine that makes it unforgettable.
