White Sangria

"I found this recipe on FineLiving.com (credited to Tony Abou-Ganim). It looked great and I intend to try it. I decided to post it on Zaar so that I can "cookbook" it, and to add to the Zaar collection. If you try it before I do, let me know what you think. I got interested in Sangria after making Bev's recipe #46365. Try it, you wont be disappointed."
