Sagaponack Sangria
The components for a traditional sangria are in the glass: wine, brandy and fruit. The sparkling wine or fizzy water that’s sometimes added just before serving is not in this recipe, but you can include it, especially if you increase the recipe four or six times to make a pitcher. Wölffer Kitchen in Sag Harbor, N.Y., which makes a popular rosé wine, devised this pretty drink, a variation on sangria, for its summery appeal.
