When I saw this recipe for white wine sangria in the July issue of Gourmet magazine, I knew I had to make it. I wasn't disappointed when I did; this sangria is phenomenal.
It's fresh, fruity, and refreshing without being overly sweet. The mint adds an herby aroma to the wine, and the absence of fruit chunks makes for smooth, easy drinking. The recipe calls for Pinot Grigio, but I used a dry Riesling from Trader Joe's.

Ingredients
1 pound green grapes

2 bottles dry white wine (preferably Albariño or Pinot Grigio)

i LOVE this recipe - i think that i'm going to have to try it since i've never even heard of this before. thank you for posting this since it's going to be a GREAT variety to what i've been drinking lately.
1This looks so pretty and yummy, but I had an appletini before I knew I was pregnant and anything to do with apple and liquer sounds gross.
2Cooks' notes:
3•Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is also available in powdered form at pharmacies and natural foods stores. It will keep the sangria's color bright.
•Sangria can be chilled up to 1 day.
Sounds delish
I think I may try this one soon.
