It’s time to kick off the New Year right and no one knows how to do that better than Bradd Levitan, founder of Beso del Sol Sangria. Beso Del Sol, translated Kiss of the Sun, is available in red and white varieties imported from Spain and is best known for its bag-in-a-box and bottle package design, which stays fresh for up to six weeks after opening, whether refrigerated or not. This delicious wine doesn’t need to chill in the refrigerator overnight to get the fruit flavors to combine with the wine. Simply pour over ice and combine with a few of your favorite pieces of fruit for garnish.
