In processor with steel chopping blade in place and the motor running, drop in the garlic cloves to chop finely. Add the pine nuts and chop very fine to make a smooth mixture, adding the lemon juice, wine, salt and pepper. Whirl to really blend it and to smooth out everything as much as possible. With the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil. Lastly, drizzle in the milk mixture. Pour into the cheesecloth lined mold, covering with the overhanging cheesecloth.
