This is a French dessert that is so easy and so elegant - very gourmet. My husband gave this a "10" rating. Be sure and try this when fresh peaches are in season.
This recipe was given to me by Patti Scaramuzzo. Patti says,
"All that I know about this recipe is that it is something that my parents had when we lived in France (1968-1973). It was also something that my father's family did. Whether it was a cool 70's idea (like pigs in a blanket) or a family thing, I'm not sure. Let's pretend it's a family thing..... He was born in Poitiers, France and lived in both Paris and Ambares (in the Bordeaux region). They spent most summers at the house in Ambares, so I expect this is a typical French, summer dessert -- refreshing and summer-like." Check out more Peach Recipes.

Peches au vin
Each serving:
In a medium bowl, place peaches for each serving. Sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar for each peach over the top and let sit for at least while you are eating dinner (longer is better). Place the equivalent of one peach in a wine glass for each serving. Drizzle the peach juices over the top. Pour red wine to top of wine glass. Eat up and then drink!
