| 75 | | | 86 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | When it comes to warm, breezy days on the patio, nothing beats sangria. Although it’s easy to make, and usually winds up tasting better than any bottled version, this brand is quite acceptable and works well either neat and chilled or on the rocks with a splash of tonic or seltzer water and a wedge of lime. Both red and white are available, and both are nice work. Savida Sangria describes itself as the first sangria in a bottle, a statement that is absolutely not accurate, but it sure is the first I would be willing to drink. Served chilled, the sweet white wine shows flavors of citrus and tropical fruits, juices of which are blended into the wine. Its base is Sauvignon Blanc (from Silverado Winery) blended with tangerine and peach. Good acidity acts as a palate cleanser, and the finish is clean and long. Foods: Chilled, neat, with curried shrimp or chicken salad; assertively flavored cheeses (Manchego, feta), paella, calamari with a spicy aïoli, cold sliced roast chicken with spicy mayonnaise. On the rocks: Marcona almonds; cheese straws or coins; green olives; cured meats; skewers of poached, chilled shellfish; seafood mousse.
