Our Sangria Wine Slush has been featured all over New York State including Taste of Buffalo, Taste of Syracuse, Taste of Rochester and the Great New York State Fair!

This new product combines our proprietary blend of wine and citrus flavors and only needs to be blended with ice and enjoyed... and enjoyed some more! Look for Merritt's Sangria Wine Slush at your favorite bar, restaurant or liquor store!
