Sangria

The other night I was walking to the mailbox to send back a Netflix DVD. As I walked by our neighbor Linnea's house, Linnea popped out her front door and started calling my name. I crossed the street to say hi and who should be there with her but Tracy, a colleague of ours from work. They were having sangria and they asked if I'd like to join them. I told them that of course I would LOVE to join them. We sat on Linnea's porch, drank sangria, talked and then played some cards. I asked Linnea how she made the sangria and she told me she used a bottle of merlot, a cup of orange juice and a half cup of fresh lime juice. She added the pieces of squeezed lime to the pitcher. I was very nice. I've seen other people add other fruit, like strawberries, to the mix.
