White Sangria

Had this fresh sangria at a wine tasting event at DeAngelis Cantina del Vino in Ann Arbor. Fun night and tasty wine!

Combine a dry Riesling with the following fruits:

• Strawberry
• Pineapple
• Cantaloupe
• Watermelon
• Honeydew

Give the fruits time to infuse the wine, then enjoy chilled.
