Instant Pot Chicken Liver Paté

Ah, chicken liver pate: It might be only thing that can really take that cheeseboard to the next level. I've made paté more times than I can count. Throughout my recipe testing, I've reduced every type of liquor but find Maderia wine (the wine used here) seems to balance the flavors better than, say, a harsh brandy.
