Sangria recipie
I love summer, and i love sangria. and as a spaniard, i take it quite seriously. First off, do not buy the already made sangria. too sweet in my opinion. buy the carlo rossi box wine. i prefer the box over the glass jug because it's usually easier to cram in the fridge, and easier to pour out.
