{Good Taste} has taken a sharp left turn this week, showcasing a wine bottle for its concept rather than its design. Now don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with the design of Gut Oggue Portrait Wines, in fact they’re quite lovely. But what I love even more is the fact that each wine is given its own unique character, to highlight the incredible differences between various types of wine. Each type of Gut Oggau wine has a different portrait, name and personality. Too bad the website’s in a language I speaketh not. Via The Coolest.
No I’m not done yet, don’t worry. I haven’t forgotten about the recipe. Wine’s a tough one since it’s so delicious on its own. But in honor of the slightly warmer weather, let’s try some sangria this week. One warning: do not (hypothetically) drink half the pitcher and then go out to a party. Trust me.
SUMMER SANGRIA
- 1 (750 milliliter) bottle dry red wine
- 1/2 cup triple sec
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 apple, sliced
- 1 lemon, sliced into rounds
- 1 orange, sliced into rounds
- 1 lime, sliced into rounds
- 1/4 cup white sugar
In a large pitcher or bowl, mix together the red wine, orange juice, lemon juice, triple sec, and sugar. Float slices of apple, lemon, orange and lime in the mixture. Refrigerate overnight for best flavor. For a fizzy sangria, add club soda just before serving.
