Tonight, we are back to Evan Goldstein's first book, Perfect Pairings. We had Pasta with Greens, Chickpeas, Toasted Breadcrumbs and Pecorino.

The wine we had was a 2007 Chateau Peyruchet Sauvignon. Goldstein says this recipe was intended for an herbal, grassy Loire style Sauvignon Blanc. This wine is from Bordeaux, but still has an herbal character, along with a little citrus like grapefruit. It worked very nicely with this dish.
