Wine Pairing: Blackberry Pistachio Flatbread with Vintner’s Reserve Pinot Noir

Hello! Lauren here from LaurenKelp.com and today we are going to give a classic pairing (wine & pizza, of course) a fun twist! Pistachio is still a relatively new addition in my pizza playbook, so when this blackberry & pistachio flatbread pizza was developed, I was a bit skeptical. But! I am here to say, it is actually quite divine and totally worth a try. Let me show you below …

Weekday dinners are not my strength. Truthfully, I am more of a big dinner or brunch maker myself, so frantically checking the fridge and pantry for last minute dinners is a common occurrence in our household. So when it came time to do a little recipe development, we threw this challenge into the ring – make something super easy and delicious from materials found in your kitchen currently.

Voila! The most unexpectedly delicious little flatbread you’ve ever had. The sweetness of the blackberries plays well with the salty flavors in the pistachios and the goat cheese, well goat cheese makes everything better.

Pair this sweet little dinner with a glass (or two) of Vintner’s Reserve Pinot Noir and it will be the highlight of your week!
