White Melon Sangria

---

Even though it seems a contradiction for a sangria to be made with white wine (since sangria is named for its blood-red color), once you've tasted this festive thirst quencher it won't matter a bit! Pieces of mixed summer melons are the perfect match for a crisp sauvignon blanc. From 'eatingwell.com' and posted for zwt5.
