Simple sangria

Because some days, all you want for dinner is fruit and chilled wine.  Ed was experimenting with mint juleps, and it turns out I don't like those.  So, I made myself a glass of sangria, so as to not feel left out.  Usually, we'll make a pitcher, and I like to mix in bubbly water and something a little harder, but today, I just wanted fruity wine.  It was a cheap bottle of something or other, a pinot grigio I think, from Marty's 2 for 10 shelf.  It worked perfectly for a refreshing drink of melon balls, mint leaves, and frozen strawberries and raspberries!  The fruit was quite delicious after, too, all wine-soaked and soggy.  Yum.
