Sauternes and Frozen Stone Fruit

Cubes of juicy peach and apricots, doused with peach nectar and frozen in an ice tray, punctuate chilled Sauternes, a full-bodied dessert wine from western France. The liquid plumps up the fruit, which descends to the bottom of the glass as the cubes melt.

    What a good idea! I bet these little fruit cubes would be good in a lot of different cocktails. I'm putting this one in my back pocket for sure!
