Notes
Make Ahead: You can make the sangria the night before and keep it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve. If you want to keep the bubbles from the Lambrusco, add the wine right before serving.
If you can't find Lambrusco wine, substitute for Syrah.
Food Pairing Ideas: Salty items like potato chips, nuts, or olives.
