*I used 2010 Cotes de Tablas Blanc - always use wine worthy of drinking in your cooking and baking - this lovely wine is a blend of four estate-grown white Rhône varietals: Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Marsanne. We bought a case on our last visit to Tablas Creek, our favorite Paso Robles vineyard.
*Instead of milk, I substituted fresh whipped cream that had been intended for the pumpkin pie, the custard was deliciously reminiscent of flan.
