Wine note: This menu boasts bright, acidic flavors and fresh herbs in both the Herbed Goat Cheese and the Lemon-Parsley Pesto, so you'll want a high-acid white that won't go flat against these zippy flavors. Try a Vermentino, made from an Italian grape of the same name found in Liguria and Tuscany. Campo al Mare Vermentino 2005 ($1
has melon and peach flavors delicate enough for goat cheese with an herbal, sagelike edge of its own. --Jeffery Lindenmuth
