Places for Sangria in Baltimore?

[a70wilson]

I think drink is OK on a chow board? Every summer, I work on my home recipe for both red and white sangria, but I also like to try places out. Usually I am disappointed, so I was hoping to get some new ideas? Some comments that pop to mind (2 bad; 2 good):

Not a big fan of Mezze's sangria - too dry, not sweet or fruity enough
Helen's (done occasionally) - this was last year, but I remember it being to liquor-y

Nasu Blanca - was then in Feb. and even at that time, I think I really liked the red
Little Havana - was there about a month ago, and the red was pretty good

Where do you like the sangria in Charm City (and why)?

I was at the Wine Market at few weeks ago and they had a sangria. I don't know if they offer it all the time though

I am actually sitting at The Wine Market right now and, yes, they offer their sangria year round. Their's tends to be a little less sweet with more of the red wine flavor coming through. Very good.

The sangria(red) Tio Pepes is excellent...
as an aside ..I have never found a good white Sangria
whiute wines don't have the body I expect in Sangria...but thats just me

I enjoyed the Sangria at La Tasca in DC. They have a location at Inner Harbor that I imagine is just as good. They feature about a dozen Sangrias (some of which I wouldn't try on a bet).
I also recommend the fried eggplant with cheese dip, it is out of this world!

I had the [red] sangria at Arcos a few times and it was delish! A tad sweet, light with ice cold pieces of apple and not too much citrus -- it was to die for.

I went back with a date a few months later and they were using a hearty, dry and thoroughly tannic wine and leaving out the sparkly part (ginger ale?). Terrible!

I'm hoping they've come to their senses and gone back, but I haven't been in a few months.

Tapas Teatro on Charles St. Reminds me of sangria ive had in Spain.

I'll second the Tapas Teatro sangria. I have not had the white, but the red is very good.

I'll third Tapas Teatro's sangria! I haven't had the white either, because I get stuck on the red, which is wonderful.

Tapas Teatro's red is my favorite sangria in town. I just tried the white last week (my husband ordered a glass to try after I demanded that we stick with our usual pitcher of red). The white was surprisingly yummy. Big hunks of melon and pineapple, and I THINK it has some peach brandy in it...very nice!
