Pistachio cakes and a New Zealand wine

Written by Veronica Lavenia

These gluten-free small cakes are a perfect appetizer. The flavor of Pecorino matches perfectly with the delicate crispness of pistachio and fresh oregano.

Bishop’s Leap 2021 by Saint Clair is our suggested pairing:  Intense aromas are highlighted on the nose, with a range of complex and fine quality aromas. Hints of fresh white flowers are accompanied by an effluvium of fruity scents: ripe peach, passion fruit, notes of papaya and a slight hint of citrus. It is completed with notes of freshly mown grass. For the full review click here.
