Put goat cheese, whipping cream, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and
wine in a food processor (or mix in a bowl with a wooden spoon). Pulse
just to blend. Mixture should be spreadable - if it's too thick, add 1 or
2 tablespoons more cream and pulse again. Season with salt and pepper,
pulse again, and taste, adjusting seasoning as necessary.
Reserve 1
teaspoon herbs for sprinkling, and add rest to processor. Add 2
teaspoons lemon zest. Pulse once more to blend. Line a small (about 1
1/2-cup) round bowl or cup with a sheet of plastic wrap and fill with
cheese mixture. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
To serve, invert bowl onto a serving platter and peel
off plastic. With back of a spoon, level off top of cheese and make a
small depression. Drizzle olive oil over top. Sprinkle with reserved
herbs and lemon zest. Arrange crackers or bread slices, tomatoes and
celery around cheese and let guests serve themselves.
Makes about 1 1/4 cups or 6 servings.
