   HELPFUL HINTS
   
   What sweet wine should you use? I would recommend an Austrian Beerenauslese or Eiswine (Ice Wine). You want to use something of quality, but there's no need to spend a fortune on the dessert wine.
   
   Here are a few tips to make this recipe even better, or a bit fancier:
   
   • Use a very ripe cantaloupe as the melon.
   
   • Chill the melon in the refrigerator for a few hours or more before making the dessert.
   
   • Use a melon baller, and put the perfectly shaped melon balls back into the cantaloupe shell and pour the dessert wine over.
   
   • For smaller portions, cut the melon halves down into smaller "bowls." Cut the extra melon into small pieces and place those into the bowl. This method also uses less dessert wine per serving.
   
   • Use a melon baller, and then put the melon balls into a fancy dish and serve that way.
   
   • Serve your Melon Kiss with some good vanilla ice cream on the side.
