Summertime is the best time to enjoy a wine spritzer. It's the perfect drink for the mom who wants to sip on something refreshing but also wants to be able to have more than one! The bubble water dilutes some of the alcohol and adds a little more excitement to the drink. Here is a list of recipes for the HOT July afternoons.
31 days of deliciousness created with the starting base of the 2013 Trione Sauvignon Blanc {you can use any white wine that you like because all recipes are still driven by the wine, you want to make sure it's one you dig!} and bubble water.
ENJOY!!
