White Wine Sangria
Writer and Photographer Francine Coles
Summer tends to get a lot of flack here in Arizona due to our extreme temperatures. But I prefer to have a glass-half-full attitude and welcome summer with open arms, as it is the perfect opportunity to imbibe on one of my absolutely favorite drinks — sangria! Though a traditional sangria is made with red wine, this version is made with white and is the ideal beverage for Mother’s Day, Memorial Day or any day!
