refrigerate at least overnight, or up to three days.
Fill a clear glass pitcher with sangria, adding more freshly sliced
seasonal fruits, frozen peaches and/or blueberries and fresh

kiwi also may be added before serving.) Pour into wine glasses with a
splash of club soda or champagne, a tiny cluster of grapes and a

wine in this punch, she also adds a long stick of cinnamon.
