How do you Pair Wine with Pie?

Fall is Here! Which means it’s pie season! Here are LDV Winery’s tips for pairing wine with pie. 

• Pumpkin Pie and Chardonnay or Viognier: This humble classic, which often appears at Thanksgiving feasts, pairs ideally with a crisp, fruity Chardonnay or Viognier.
• Pecan Pie and Pinot Noir or Grenache: The complex layers and savory nature of Pinot Noir or Grenache make it the perfect accompaniment to a rich, nutty pecan pie slice.
  
• Apple Pie and Riesling: Whether choosing a dry or sweet Riesling, its acidity can cut through the richness of apple pie while its white grape flavors complement the sweet-yet-tart apples of this pie.
  
• Cherry Pie and Pinot Noir or red wine blends: Pair a slice of sweet cherry pie with a light- to medium-bodied dry red wine, which can enhance its fruit flavors. A light Pinot Noir, with notes of herbs, spice, and cherries or currants, would be an excellent choice.
