1 In a medium saucepan, combine the wine, lemon juice, sugar, and lemon zest. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, peel the pears and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the cores.
3 Slip the pears into the wine syrup and cook until tender when pierced with a knife, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
4 With a slotted spoon, transfer two pear halves to each serving dish, cored-side up. Drizzle the syrup around the pears.
5 In a small bowl, mash the gorgonzola with the ricotta to make a smooth paste. Scoop some of the cheese mixture into the cored space of each pear half. Sprinkle with the pistachios. Serve immediately.
