A few years ago, I tried my first wine smoothie at the New York State Fair--it was the perfect relief from the muggy heat. All you need is some fruit, wine, and a blender.

Add a few fancy glasses, garnishes, and fun friends for a great summertime party.

• 2 cups frozen raspberries
• 1 cup frozen blueberries
• 1/2 cup yogurt
• 1-1/2 cups red wine

Combine in a blender and mix until smooth. For a creamier smoothie, add more yogurt.

You can also try other ingredients, like substitute the yogurt with a fresh banana, or try using other kinds of frozen berries.
