The combination of mint, grapefruit and melon is bright and refreshing and
looks particularly beautiful when served in dark bowl.

Note 1: Such as sauternes or California Late Harvested Sauvignon Blanc or
Semillion

Cut the cantaloupe in half. Seed both varieties of melons. Using a melon
baller, scoop out the melon flesh and place into a mixing bowl.

Using a serrated knife, peel the grapefruit and remove the white membrane
around each segment; remove the seeds. Add the grapefruit segments, 4 mint
leaves, black pepper and dessert wine to the melon balls. Gently combine
all ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hr.

Divide the salad among 4 bowls. Spoon the liquid over the fruit and garnish
each serving with 2 mint leaves.
