Notes
*The best apples for fall sangria are heartier varieties, like Pink Lady, Gala, Honeycrisp, Fuji, Granny Smith, Haralson, or Golden Delicious
*The best red wines for sangria are good quality wines at a lower price point that you'd enjoy drinking on it’s own. Selecting a red wine that is drier to balance out the sweetness of the fruit is the best choice. Pinot Noir, Malbec, Garnacha, Rioja, and Tempranillo are all great options.
*If you'd like to add bubbles to your sangria, but also prefer a boozier cocktail, try topping your fall sangria with a sparkling hard cider!
