AND TO DRINK…

Drinks editor Yvonne Lorkin suggests matches for these dishes.

1. ANTIPASTI, ANCHOVY CROSTINI AND ZUCCHINI FRITTI If the gold medalwinning Canti Organic Prosecco DOC ($21) isn’t the supremo, perfecto thing to pair with these classic antipasti flavours, then

I’ll be dipped in friti. It’s crisp, light, lemony, nutty niceness washes across and soothes the smorgasbord of flavours on offer. Deliziosa! glengarrywines.co.nz

2. PROSCUITTOWRAPPED PORK SCOTCH FILLET Normally I’m a viognier-with-pork nut. however tasting the

Cantina La Palma Aragosta Vermentino di Sardegna DOC 2018 ($23.99) has got me questioning my devotion. Fact one: 'aragosta' is Italian for 'lobster.' Fact two: this vermentino is juicy and jam-packed with pear and apple and luscious lemony layers. It’s crisp, crunchy and fabulously mouthfilling. sapori.co.nz 3. ROAST PUMPKIN

AND RICOTTA STUFFED PASTA WITH HAZELNUT AND SAGE BROWN BUTTER There’s something about pinot gris and pumpkin that works like love and marriage, and the soft quince and apple strudel spices in the Soljans Kumeu Pinot Gris 2020 ($20) also love toasted hazelnuts. Don’t chill it too much because it’ll mask the delicious fruit flavours. soljans.co.nz

4. BAKED SALTED

DARK CHOCOLATE

AND CARAMEL TART

Stop what you’re doing. I am about to reveal THE most perfect thing to pair with this ridiculously luxurious tart. It’s the Nardini

‘David’ Amaro Liqueur ($59.99 x 1ltr), sensuously dark and crafted with gentian root, bitter orange and peppermint; it is so exotically gorgeous with this dessert I’m struggling to function. jk14wines.com
