You don't want to use a super flavorful olive oil because a.) it will be very expensive, and b.) because it will overpower the other flavors. With the wine, you have more flexibility -- use a wine you'd drink on a weeknight, not one you'd buy for a dinner party or gift. Have fun -- it's a terrific cake!
