OK, so it's kind of a contradiction for a sangria, which is named for its blood-red color, to be made with white wine, but once you've tasted this festive thirst quencher it won't matter a bit. Pieces of mixed summer melons are the perfect match for a crisp Sauvignon Blanc.

This is a refreshingly light Sangria that is always a hit! I've served it at open houses and barbeques. Everyone loves it. Be sure and use the fresh mint and lime. Makes for a great presentation. Quite refreshing!
