Bodegas Bianchi New Age White ($13)
Hailing from Argentina’s Mendoza Region, New Age White is composed of Torrontés (90%) and Sauvignon Blanc (10%). It’s light, fruity flavors, firm acid and relatively low alcohol content make this wine a great base for cocktails. I like to use it to make Sangria. My recipe is below and you can watch me make it below.
Gabe’s Sangria
1 750 Ml Bottle Bodegas Bianchi New Age White
1 1/2 Cups Pisco (South American Brandy)
1 Cup Sliced Strawberries
1 Cup Sliced Pineapple
1 Cup Raisins
10 Fresh Mint Leaves
1 Cup Orange Juice
2 Tbsp Meyer Lemon Infused Simple Syrup
Reserve 5 Mint leaves and put the rest of the ingredients in a glass pitcher an stir. Cover With Saran Wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours. After a full day, take it out, stir it, spoon some fruit into a glass (ice optional) and pour Sangria over it. Garnish each glass with remaining Mint leaves.
Enjoy!
