Well hello, friends!

Hope you’re having a wonderful Thursday night! I wanted to pop in to share this amazing White Sparkling Wine Sangria using Gloria Ferrer wine.

I just love setting the table and mixing and matching my pieces to create a cozy and comfortable setting. When we’re eating outside, I like to make it a little special by bringing out our fun outdoor tabletop items (World Market is my go-to!). I start off by putting down our woven placemats to give some texture, set out our dinner plates (which are melamine), and then add a big glass pitcher, some mixed pattern glasses, and of course, umbrella straws! I love using LED candles because they’re safe just in case one of your kiddos get ahold of it.

And now, let’s talk about this amazing drink recipe! We’re using Gloria Ferrer Sparkling White Wine in this recipe. Gloria Ferrer is the original sparkling wine house, they opened in Sonoma County back in 1986. The goal was to make world-class sparking wine, and that’s exactly what they did. The wine is fruity and oh-so-tasty and I couldn’t wait to get to work on creating a fun sangria recipe!

See? Isn’t that the easiest Sangria recipe ever? It’s perfect for whipping something up for a gathering or just making to enjoy outside on the patio! I love garnishing with cut limes on the rim! Now, who’s ready for a drink?
