I cant wait to try this Sangria recipe out! We recently had Chile Rellenos and my MIL made "Sangria", which was really red wine and orange juice. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't the Sangria I was thinking of! I will definitely be trying this recipe instead!

This recipe is fabulous with Chilensis Carmenere or Chilensis Pinot Nior!

What you're saying..
Thank you for the great recipes and ideas in your cookbook. I was given Desperation Dinners last year for Christmas and fell in love right away. There are several recipes that all three of my kids will eat without any complaints! Our favorite is Alicia’s Chicken with Olives. I have even made it with ground meat when I was short on groceries.

We absolutely loved this Sangria recipe. It made a gallon of cold, tasty, sweet-tart flavor. Definitely made our Labor Day celebration one to remember!
