I LOVE rose wine. It is so light and a little bubbly, and perfect for any occasion and meal. My favorite brand is Rosé Regale, I blame this on my many trips toting children through Disney's Epcot and Italy having a cute little bar and shop right there for me to wonder into. LOL So here is a delicious sangria recipe perfect for that wine! Plus, CRANBERRIES, yum!
