Strawberry Sangria
What’s a long weekend to you? Is it quality time with family and friends, enjoying a potluck meal, backyard BBQ or fire pit. Is it about getting away to nature to camp, hike and sightsee? Maybe it’s about catching up on errands and neglected household tasks. For me it’s been all of the above at some time, but without a doubt there’s always a little wine consumed regardless of how I spend it. This Victoria Day long weekend will find me enjoying Strawberry Sangria. A crisp fruity glass of wine that is subtlety sweet with delicious ripe strawberries, spiked with Kirsch and a little too easy to drink.


Refreshing Strawberry Sangria begs to be sipped in the sun with your favourite pals, so I’m hopeful for good weather. But regardless, it’s still a long weekend with an extra day off, relaxation, friends and of course a pitcher of Strawberry Sangria. Enjoy!
