What wine goes with pie and ice cream?

[roody]

The pie is sweet potato.

[Beearewhyain]

1. I would recommend a Port

Taylor Fladgate 10 year tawny is a good start and is what we are having for dessert.

11. I just bought a California 'Port'.

Since I am here in Ca. Enjoy!

2. Vin Jaune or Vin de Paille would be nice

Costco generally has one or both. Harveys Bristol Cream or any knock off wouldn't be bad either and you can find that anywhere.

3. Is the pie sweet, super sweet, or savory?

[roody]

10. Sweet and savory

[Auggie]

16. I'm leaning towards Tokay

I think it'll bridge the balance between sweet and savory well.

4. Brandy?

[azurnoir]

5. not wine but Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey?

okay I'm making a sweet potato pie and thinking of adding a shot to the filling

6. Either a good German Riesling, or an Icewine.

But then, we've been on a big German kick lately...

7. Or a decent champagne

Riesling was always at the top of my hit parade when I could still drink without getting a migraine, but any fancy dinner ended up with champagne with the dessert.

12. Never really did get into champagne. Probably because I've probably never had a decent one...

But, my mushrooming buddy has an extensive knowledge and collection of Germans (as well as some Sauternes, Ports and Bordeauxs) which happen to be sitting in my dining room atm... He's been giving Mrs. Opie & I an invaluable education on them.

13. Spanish wines from champagne grapes are reasonably priced

and good out of proportion to the price. I haven't been able to drink for about 37 years, but I've taken tastes so I won't have to smell it on everybody's breath and Freixenet is still a good buy.

Asti Spumante is the Italian variety, quite a bit sweeter and more fruity. I honestly prefer a dry champagne as a foil to a sweet dessert, so I reserve the Asti for the cheese and fruit plate.

14. Cool.. I think after the holidays are over,

I may have him run me up to Total Wine & More and see if we can find a good, reasonable entry-level champagne to try out.

15. Then a German Sekt...... along the Champaigne line of thinking.

OR a glass of ice cold bubbly Federweißer (Junger Wein) made with Riesling grapes. Low alcohol, bubbly and refreshing! Sweet, but not sickening sweet.

Just thinking about this makes me hungry for Zwiebelkuchen.and Federweißer. I doubt if they sell it here in the USA as it only keeps for about a week.

8. Moscato amabile!

9. Any wiine!

Duh.

[cbayer]

17. Personally, I like a good strong coffee with a choice of liqueurs.

And Bailey's always seems to be a great after dinner christmas treat.

Enjoy!
