![As stone fruits come into the peak of their season, I'm obsessing over Bellinis. For the uninitiated, that would be the Venetian <i>aperitivo</i> of Prosecco with white peach juice. The original was invented by Giuseppe Cipriani at Harry's Bar in Venice (not the one south of Santa Monica but the original watery city) sometime before the second world war, but it wasn't named "the Bellini" until 1948.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2010-08/55323454-04141415.jpg "As stone fruits come into the peak of their season, I'm obsessing over Bellinis.
