twice their original size and the wine should just moisten the fruit.

Blend with a spoon until homogenous. Spread this mixture over the
toast in a thin layer all the way to the edges. Remove the crusts
with a sharp knife. Cut each toast into triangles, and divide the
toast among 4 saucers.

Using 4 large martini glasses divide the fruit mixture and juices
evenly. Place each glass on a saucer with the toast. Shave goat
cheese with peeler over each glass and serve.
