Key lime pie wine pairing

I'm thinking Chenin Blanc from the Loire - either dry or sweet.

Perhaps a Sauvignon Blanc? A Didier Dagueneau? I like the idea of a flavor contrast as opposed to a sweet overload. But, there's enough citrus notes in the SB to complement the pie.

Wow. Why?

ditto! (if it needs to be wine)

Otherwise, water.

Red, if you figure this one out, I'd be glad to hear.

We eat a lot of KLP and it's a personal favorite, but I'm yet to find any wine that even qualifies as "bearable" with KLP.

Try to locate one of those great Florida wines. That should be able to spoil the pie. Nothing like a good Florida wine with a Florida Dessert.

So during Key West food and wine festival last weekend, there was a seminar on key lime pie and they had wine pairings. Of course, I wasn't there so I have no idea what they paired. I did try a key lime wine over the weekend,many if you get over the fact that IT IS NOT WINE, it actually is not a bad beverage...

I think they paired it with moscato

Not a bad choice, actually.

Riesling of moderate sweetness

Muscadine.

Or PX sherry. Undrinkable otherwise.

I would imagine that somethign moscato from maculan like their dindarello

i'd also some some austrian tba's but then we have boytritis again.
