About this episode

Dan explores the origins of sangria and shares his recipe for a fruit-forward red sangria.

Dan explores the surprisingly practical origins of sangria, explains how the drink conquered America after the 1964 World's Fair, and shares his recipe for a fruit-forward red sangria built around Prescription Cabernet Sauvignon. Along the way, he takes a few shots at white sangria, offers tips for customizing the recipe, and closes with a trio of gloriously terrible fruit jokes.
