Comments

This recipe uses wine fresh out of the bottle. The sorbet won't keep, it will oxidize just like a bottle of wine does after it's been opened. Use all the sorbet in the same amount of time you'd consume a just opened bottle of wine.

Garnish with a fresh mint leaf and serve with shortbread cookies or light vanilla sugar wafers. Also excellent served on rich slices of pound cake or with fresh raspberries, narrow slices of angle food cake and lemon peel curls.
