When I'm thinking of recipe ideas for an upcoming blog post, I am sometimes stunned by an obvious one I've missed. This is one of those cases! I've been making this Sangria for years. It's a recipe I perfected over many summers that let's you taste the brightness of the fruit without too much sugar. It's best to let the fruit juice, sugar and brandy sit overnight, but if you are in a rush an hour or two will do. Choose a fruity Spanish, Chilean or Argentinean wine.
