I am not a big drinker but loved this recipe. I made it for the family cookout and everyone loved it. Thanks for the great recipe.

another 5 stars from me, I will be making this again!! DH & I really enjoyed it. I let the fruit sit for several hours and used a potatoe masher to squeeze the juice out. I need to try this with different types of wine!
