THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE SUMMER 2014

We hope everyone is enjoying this long awaited summer weather. We are not allowed to complain about the heat and humidity….remember our winter! Just relax on your patio or deck with a glass of refreshing GRAPE EXPECTATION wine. Here is my recipe for Sangria. Make a pitcher tonight.

PAT’S SENSATIONAL SANGRIA

· 1 bottle of red wine

· ½ cup orange juice

· ½ cup berry juice ( any berry is fine)

· ¼ cup Grand Marnier or Triple Sec

· ¼ cup Rye, Rum or Vodka

· 1 each lemon, lime and orange sliced thin and cut in half

· 1 cup blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries (1 cup total, you can mix the berries) or any seasonal fruit.

Mix all ingredients in a large pitcher and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight. When ready to serve add 2 cans Club Soda, or if you prefer something a little sweeter add 7-Up or Sprite. Fill a glass halfway with ice, and pour in Sangria and enjoy.

Grape Expectations is celebrating 14 years in business, and as in past years, we would like to thank you for your loyalty.

I apologize for taking so long in sending out a newsletter. My Mother was very sick during the month of May and I lost her at the end of May. Many of you knew her, she loved coming into the store. I will miss her very much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the lovely cards and flowers I received from many of you.

I promise to get another newsletter out in July. Stay tuned in August for another CHEEKY MONKEY Limited Release.

We will be closed on Mondays, from June 30^th to August 4^th .

We expanded our staff with the addition of Trish. She very nice and fits right in with our store.

Hope to see all of you soon!

Cheers from: Pat, Lisa, Linda, Trish and Ryan
