Oh, the internet curse. How I wish we all lived within yards of each other so I could say - I will make many pitchers of sangria and supply the grill, you bring the food - and we could all end the night secretly worrying that we had made fools of ourselves when really we had truly endeared ourselves to our comrades. Glad to know this would be well received. Thank you!
This is fantastic!! The fruit you used are perfect with rose', nice!!!
I am beginning to realize that my visual artist instinct to develop a recipe by color might not always be a bad thing. When I was thinking about how to make sangria I knew I wanted it to look good, and the color combination I liked the most was also a fantastic flavor combination too. Thanks!
This sounds so delicious and dangerous - sangria always sneaks up on me.
I know exactly what you mean. As I just told mrslarkin below, we were in a flushed and giggling fit by the time this pitcher was finished.
We were sitting outside enjoying this and relaxing when my fiance starts giggling (no really, giggling) and says, "this stuff is stealth." Very, very chatty...
