Sangria is one of my favorite beverages. Sangria allows me to infuse refreshing fruit flavors into wine for a truly magical experience. Sangria does not have to only be enjoyed during the summer! It’s October and I am still sipping away on this sunny rooftop! Add some fresh fruit to your favorite wine and you can create endless Sangria options that will be sure to impress your guests.
