Delightful way to serve fruit! I loved the muscat with the melons and I think it would be great with other fruits as well. I thought I had some mint but couldn't find it - I think that would have been a great addition too. Thanks for sharing this recipe! Made for the Best of 2010 Event (recommended by Cookgirl)

Does is still count as a review because I used a mixture of Trader Joe's orange muscat vinaigrette and Oregon pinot noir instead of muscat wine? I hope so because it was yummy regardless. Garnished with fresh pineapple mint. Niiiiice!

It's light, pretty, low cal and something I had never thought of before. Would be even prettier in a nice stemmed glass. Next time I would go a little lighter on the muscat but what a refreshing summer dessert!
