Sangria is a delicious and refreshing drink. Since Sangria is the Spanish word for blood it would make sense to make it with red wine and that is exactly what I did. I used Tennessee Valley Winery Blackberry wine. For another fabulous idea try the wine with Blackberry Cheesecake. Top your favorite cheesecake recipe with a Blackberry wine sauce and fresh or frozen blackberries. Serves 8 Ingredients: 4 ounces triple sec 4 ounces brandy 3 plums, sliced 8 ounces frozen dark cherries 1 ½ cups blackberries 4 cups Blackberry Wine 1 ½ cups club soda, chilled Instructions: Combine first 5 ingredients through the blackberries in a large pitcher. Stir in the wine. Chill at least 2 hours or until cold allowing the flavors to develop. Stir in club soda before serving. Can add ice and a sprig of mint to garnish.
