Sparkling Chianti Sangria and Happy Mother's Day


Happy Mother's Day to all women this weekend.  Every woman, mom or not, plays a very special role in someone's life and should be celebrated this weekend.


Including our special bird momma who I am happy to report had her baby birds this week!  They are very chatty and we love listening to them through our front door when momma comes around and feeds them....so cute! 

I'm fairly certain however, that I will need to purchase a new front door wreath...bit of a disaster up there. :(


Now that we had actual sunshine today, I am really enjoying our deck time and this new summer beverage that I am confident will be making future appearances.  Cheers!

Sparkling Chianti Sangria

1 bottle Chianti wine
1 bottle Prosecco
1 orange, sliced and quartered
1 pear, sliced and quartered
1 cup blackberries
1 apple, sliced and quartered
1 lemon, sliced and quartered

In a tall pitcher, layer all the fruits and add the bottle of Chianti.  Mix well and chill in refrigerator at least 8 hours, or overnight.

Pour 3/4 cup sangria mixture into each wine glass, dividing fruit equally.  Top each glass with 1/4 cup Prosecco.  Serve immediately.
