25 Oct Pairing Pinot Noir with Fig & Pistachio Toasts
Pinot Noir is one of my favorites wines, it’s easy to drink and pairs nicely with a lot of my favorite foods! Recently, the team at Peter Yealands reached out and asked me for a pairing recommendation for their Pinot Noir.
I’m an avid entertainer so I immediately wanted to create something that would be great to make for a party or entertaining a group of friends. This wine is light and fruity with subtle berry notes. It’s quite smooth with a soft tannin finish and I think this would be a great choice for a crowd pleaser.
For this recipe, I decided to pair it with sweet figs, savory goat cheese, and (of course) salted pistachios! For your next get together, whip up a plate of these fig toast appetizers and pair it with a bottle of Pinot Noir and your guests will be swooning.
