I recently found myself in Cost Plus/World Market in search of interesting wines for a blog post. I had the good fortune of running into my wine buyer friend at the store. She introduced me to a few inexpensive wines that I might want to try, one being the Radio Boca Tempranillo. I opened the bottle that night […]
Aw, I do love this Sangria. With the hot summer day upon us, it’s the perfect time to enjoy a nice, cold glass of my favorite homemade Red Wine Lemon Sangria while I watch the day come to a close on my patio. While I was making this Red Wine Lemon Sangria, I was reminded […]
