Local Summer Wine, With Fruit to Boot

Posted byVirtual FarmgirlPosted inUncategorized

Another fun wine from the Grayslake, Ill.,-based Glunz Family Winery & Cellars.

You and, especially my Christmas tree-trimming party guests, already know I’m a big fan of their winter Vin Glogg. But warm wine just doesn’t sound appealing in the heat of summer.

So I was very excited to find the iFarmer brought home de la Costa Sangria, a fruity rosy wine. It’s fine on its own, but even better with Gas City, Ind., strawberries (frozen like ice cubes) and Michigan cherries. Glunz recommends serving it with a touch of club soda or orange or lime…We’ll try that next time.

Plus…who doesn’t like the extra fun of eating sangria-soaked fruit after the last drop is gone from the wine?

It was the perfect accompaniment to the sesame chicken salad I whipped up from some leftover teriyaki chicken from the Sunday grill.

  1. Hi there!Thanks for all the nice links to our site. 🙂 I’m enjoying reading your blog. I was wondering – I can see that Glunz Family Winery are locally based, but does that mean that they grow their grapes locally too? Maybe that’s a stupid question, but I was just wondering.:)NinaChicago Locavores
