Barbara's Notes + Tips
- You can use frozen berries, let them thaw and drain the juices before using.
- If you want to make this in advance, bake it first. Re-heat when ready to serve or serve at room temperature.
- You can substitute any red wine, choose one you would like to drink.
- You can add in raspberries or blueberries or both.
