• Riesling (trocken)
• Riesling (halbtrocken & feinherb)

• 1 großer Apfel
• 1 Rolle Ziegenkäse
• 4 Scheiben Bacon
• 4 TL Honig
• 1 TL Thymian
• 4 Blätter Eichblattsalat
• frische Zweige Thymian zum Garnieren
• nach Belieben Salz & Pfeffer

Preheat the grill to the highest setting.

Fry the bacon slices without fat in a non-stick frying pan until crispy and drain on a piece of kitchen paper. Leave the rendered fat in the pan.

Wash the apple, core it with a corer and then cut it into four, approx. 1 cm thick slices. Slowly fry the apple slices in the remaining bacon fat until just cooked, using the tip of a knife to check the doneness. Place the apple slices in a lightly greased baking dish, sprinkle with thyme and place a crispy fried bacon slice on top of each one.

Divide the goat's cheese into 4 thalers and place one thaler on each apple slice, sprinkle with thyme again and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of honey.

Bake under the grill until the cheese is lightly browned.

Serve the goat's cheese and apple tartlets on a lettuce leaf or, if you prefer, on a bed of lettuce (add a honey-flavoured dressing)

• Dornfelder (halbtrocken & feinherb)

• 5 cm Ingwer
• 2 EL Butter
• 750 ml Gemüsebrühe
• 300 ml Kokosmilch
• 12 mittelgroße Shrimps

Peel and dice the pumpkin, onion and ginger and sauté in the butter.

Deglaze with the vegetable stock and sauté for about 15 to 20 minutes until soft.

Sauté the shrimps in a little olive oil and leave to cook over a low heat for a few minutes. Place on wooden skewers and keep warm in aluminium foil.

When the vegetables have been steamed until soft, blend finely with a hand blender. Stir in the coconut milk and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the soup in large cups and garnish with the shrimp skewers.

Freshly baked white bread goes well with this.
