Dr. Oz’s Sangria Recipe to Fight Aging
| May 17, 2012 | Posted by naturally modern under All Posts, Food and Drink |
We here at Naturally Modern love a good excuse to enjoy good wine. Fighting aging sounds like as good a reason to us as any! We came across this Sangria recipe from Dr. Oz and wanted to share it with you. Dr. Oz’s recipe calls for pinot noir wine, but you can use any kind of wine you prefer – red wine, white wine, or even champagne! You can also substitute your favorite fruit. Guess this means drinking sangria is the naturally modern way to stay young!
