I Love Sangria

Its true, I do LOVE Sangria!! First off I want to apologize to anyone who is a true wine lover.....Sorry.

I think of riesling as about the only drinkable wine, but while working at this great little wine bar and bistro I was intoduced to a treat; Sangria :) So began my love....since then I have altered and added and changed a few things and come up with what I think is the greatest recipe. I don't use any special wine, usually a merlot or cabernet and a chardonney or pinot grigio. Theres my trick, maybe you caught it (and maybe true wine lovers are apalled by it) I like to use one bottle red and one bottle of white wine....I feel like it allows for a balanced flavor!

I know that whenever I make this there is never enough to go around, so try it and share it....or don't I totally understand :)

Enjoy!!

Loves, SMK
