Strawberries in Red Wine

In our native Poitou region of France, we call this dish a MIGE (pronounced Mi'jay) and it's a refreshing summer afternoon snack.  Imagine coming back from working in the field or the vegetable garden and sitting under the porch in 80F temperature and enjoying strawberries in red wine.  Ahhhh!
