Looking for a delicious Sangria recipe for Memorial Day? This spring we visited a small winery in Virginia, Savoy-Lee Winery & Vineyard in Huddleston, VA and had a delicious Sangria. They provided us with the recipe and we are passing it on to our friends as a perfect drink for Memorial Day and summertime drink. (Savoy-Lee is available for sale. Anyone interested can check it out at http://www.savoy-lee.com/.)
The Sangria recipe follows.
Happy Memorial Day! Kathy
