Sangria
My husband and I just visited Florida, and we ate at the Columbia restaurant in Longboat Key. We ordered the Sangria that is made table side, and it was the best Sangria we have ever had. I happened to pop into the store they have at the restaurant, and I saw the recipe for the drink in one of their cookbooks. We can’t wait to re-create this wonderful drink at home.
