Eyes On The Pies! Your Guide To Perfect Pie Pairing

Everything’s better with pie, especially wine!

Thanksgiving is fast approaching and while many will have their taste buds fixated on the savory staples such as the turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes, it’s the pie that rounds it all off as that sweet end-of-meal treat. 

There are so many flavors of pie to top of your meal, from pumpkin to apple, to pecan, and so many more. But how do you top off your pie? With wine of course! 

Here are five of our favorite wine and holiday pie pairings that you’ll be truly thankful for:

Pumpkin Pie & Chardonnay:

Pumpkin pie is simply a Thanksgiving staple that perfectly encapsulates the season. When pairing wines with pumpkin pie, Chardonnay is a great choice as the dry, full-bodied flavor with hints of vanilla blend wonderfully with the starchy sweetness of the pumpkin and the notes of cinnamon, brown sugar, and ginger.

Apple Pie & Riesling:

What better way to enhance the sweet flavor of an oven-fresh apple pie than with a Riesling? From its fruity, aromatic disposition to its aroma of green apples, there are so many rieslings why these two make the perfect pair.

Lemon Meringue & Rosé:

Light, airy, and exquisite. Those are just a few of the words we’d use to describe this heavenly flavor combination. The rich, buttery tartness of the pie and the light, fruity splash of the rosé juxtapose brilliantly together to make a combination you won’t soon forget!

Cherry Pie & Syrah:

While some may say cherry pie is reminiscent of summer, we don’t see a reason why you can’t still celebrate those warmer days with a nice slice of cherry pie on your plate. For pairing, Syrah’s dry, smoky, floral notes complement the blend of tartness and sweetness inherently found in cherry pies. Definitely worth a taste! 


Apple Crumble & Champagne:

The classic bubbly presence of champagne has made it an instantaneous hit for celebrating good times, and Thanksgiving is no exception. Be sure to pair yours with the sweet cinnamon-laden splendor of homemade apple crumble for a flavor sensation that’ll leave you wanting seconds...or thirds (we won’t judge!)
