I hope you made it to the 2011 Tennessee Food and Wine Festival. If you didn't, here is a taste of what you missed. Sangria made with Tennessee wines proved to be a delicious and refreshing drink. Since Sangria is the Spanish word for blood it would make sense to make it with red wine and that is exactly what I did. I used Tennessee Valley Blackberry wine- Yum.
