| Tanji’s Wine Finds: Red Wine Spritzer |
|
| August 28 is National Red Wine Day and while we love a good glass of wine, we’re celebrating with a summery spritz! This three-ingredient sparkler from A Couple Cooks has all the vibes of a fruity sangria, minus the extra prep time. We suggest the Settesoli Red Blend ($13) for this one—it’s light, smooth and easy drinking. Get the recipe HERE. |
