In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water and mint.
Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes to make a mint-flavored simple syrup.
Strain, discarding mint leaves, and cool.
In a food processor, coarsely puree the berries.
Turn into a bowl and stir in the wine and mint syrup.
Taste and add lemon juice if you prefer a tarter flavor.
Pour the liquid into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions until firm.
Garnish with additional berries.
Yield: 1 1/2 quarts.
