If you're ever at one, I recommend it highly. Actually, for restaurant chains, Carrabbas’ Italian Restaurant has an -excellent- blanco sangria. If you’re ever at one, I recommend it highly.

This beer & wine bar/ music joint/ saloon is the only place to be in Alpine. Although, it may be a stretch to get all the way out there. Alpine is in West Texas (~7.5 hour drive from Austin) near Big Bend National Park. But, it's well worth the trip; Alpine is a cozy little town with big heart and soul. And the Rail Road Blues has such a great atmosphere as well as the best homemade sangria (red AND white) you'll ever taste!

I like to pour the beverage over ice in a tall glass and float a round slice of a blood orange on top. Don't forget the cinnamon! Blood oranges add a nice touch to a finished glass of sangria.

My favorites are 'sparkling' sangrias, mixed with carbonated water. I just posted one of my favorite recipes last week, I linked it in my name.
