My Best Friend and I celebrating my City View Article.
I was fortunate again to be asked to write an article for City View Magazine in Fayetteville, NC. It was a very proud moment to see my photos and writing in such a beautiful, well-designed magazine. I was so excited to have another opportunity. This article theme was Tapas. Tapas are Spanish derived small plates of food served with drinks. The Spanish culture use a verb called taper which means to go from bar to bar for drinks and eating tapas. Therefore, Sangria was the perfect recipe to begin my article with.
Pomegranate Red Wine Sangria
Red Wine Sangria
I wanted to create something a little different than the typical red wine Sangria recipe, so I added the Pomegranate Juice to give it a little punch. The result was perfection. My Pomegranate Orange Sangria has bold, fruity flavors, with a perfect balance of tart and light sweetness. This is not the typical sweet sangria. If you prefer a sweeter sangria, use a sweeter wine.
Acquire an inexpensive red wine that offers fruity flavors and aromas. Avoid the expensive, older, complex wines because they are often too delicate for mixing.
