Portuguese Sangria #SundaySupper

By 30 Comments

It’s football season … at our house that means it is that time of the year that we are glued to the television watching every game!  We love football.  I am not sure that there is a bigger football family than us.  All our boys are football players, our daughter was a cheerleader and we are that family that is obsessed.  And as much as we love the game, we also love football eats.  What’s better than a tailgating party with great food?

When I think of tailgating, I always think of my favorite tailgating drink, Sangria.  Not just ordinary Sangria but Portuguese Sangria made with Vinho Verde.  Have you tried?  Oh you must!  You are in for a treat.

So what is your favorite team? Well, as far as college football goes, we love the Gators (hence the wine glass).  But we have a little problem in our home, our daughter is a Gator but our second born is going to UCF and we may have to be a little open minded to the Knights.  Can we do it?   Whether we are cheering on the Knights or the Gators, I know one thing for sure… it wouldn’t be a tailgate party without a pitcher of Portuguese Sangria!

  10. Oh Isabel, this is incredible. I am making a batch right now! I have all the ingredients 🙂

    Love the wine glass and luckily, UCF and UF are in different conferences so you can root both of them on! I am a Gator fan and went to UCF.

    Go Gators!
