Again, a lovely starter…
Ingredients
225g or 5-6 fresh goat cheese „Picandou“
250g mini green Thai-Asparagus
3 eggs
200g crème fraiche
Tarte Dough: 200g flour, 100g butter, 1 egg yolk
Preparation: http://www.berlinkitchen.com/berlinkitchen/Slideshow_Tarte_Goat_Cheese.html
Looks delicious, Martin. What wine would/did you serve with it?
Claude, in my experience (and as a typical pairing), crisp Loire whites work well with goat cheese, e.g. Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé among others. Or a nice crisp viognier from Ardèche (the other big “goat cheese” region in France).
Claude, I can´t remember what I served. Certainly a Riesling, what else.
I would serve a 07 Heymann-Löwenstein “Roth-Lay” or my new favourite 08 Kühling-Gillot “Rothenberg” GG (Release 2010 at ProWein). Also 3rd place at my “Berlin Riesling Cup”. The winemaker HO Spanier makes a terrific job at Battenfeld-Spanier&Kühling-Gillot, especially in 08.

Maybe you have seen it already, here some photos I posted regarding the german harvest 09 AND the new addition to the Keller portfolio PETTENTHAL

Take care,
Martin
No doubt, a crispy Loire white would be perfect!
Thanks, Guillaume and Martin.
Guillaume – Yes, I think the Loire whites would go well, and maybe even certain reds. I must admit, though, that I was thinking of German wines (see below).
Martin-- I should think that the Kühling-Gillot would go very well (this is an estate that I need to visit – the few wines I’ve tasted have been impressive). I was thinking of a Pfalz Riesling trocken, perhaps more towards the southern Pfalz, or perhaps a Scheurebe trocken (Pfeffingen?). Certain vintages/producers of Franken Silvaner might make an interesting pairing (at least in my mind), too.
Yes, I’ve seen your photos from Keller’s vineyards (thanks for posting) and had a wonderful visit with him at the beginning of September.
Looks great, but did you take the picture after placing the tart on your leather couch?
Chris,
no couch, I have dishes with a special skate- texture. Here is a photo, click for a bigger picture.
