Step #4 Combine 2 c flour, wheat germ, & salt in a bowl.
Step #5 Cut in shortening with a pastry mixer until the size of small peas.
Step #6 Sprinkle top cold water, 1 tbsp at a time, over surface; stir lightly with a fork just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Step #7 Shape pastry into a ball, & divide into 2 portions.
Step #8 Roll 1 portion to 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
Step #9 Place in a 9-inch pie plate.
Step #10 Roll remaining pastry to 1/8-inch thickness.

Step #14 Bake at 450° for 10 mins.
Step #15 Reduce temperature to 350°, & bake for 40 mins or until golden.

Step #17 Wine note: This is a pie for Chardonnay lovers.
Step #18 I recommend one from the Burgundy region of Chablis.
Step #19 Most of these are oak-free with bright acid & great minerality to cut through the richness of the sauce & accent the earthiness of the potato.
Step #20 Any Louis Michel Premier Cru such as Grenouilles ($25-$44) would be heaven.
