All,
Had a lot of fun with this book.
It's been a source of ideas.
Even took the time to read it cover to cover, and not just look at the photos.
Be well all.

Lots of fun, thought provoking, ideas, packed in this little gem of a book. Great way to keep things interesting, although many of the links referenced in the book do not work or no longer apply. Maybe look for the updated or most recent version

What a fun book! It is full of ideas that I hadn't thought of and ideas I needed reminded of too. I like the "Things to watch out for" sections especially. It is easy to scan through and find what interests me for my family.

There are many creative ideas in this book for making interesting and delicious Sangrias. I did not realize a Sangria could be made from any kind of wine, with all kinds of fruit and liquors. I always assumed Sangrias were specialized Spanish wines with a rather specific fruit recipe. It's exciting to realize I can concoct my own Sangrias from wines and fruits I love, via my own experimentation!

The author does a great job of laying out how to make a beautiful and tasty Sangria, how it is important to let it sit overnight (or not, in the sole case of Champagne Sangrias), and what kinds of wines go best with certain fruits and liquors. The book got me excited to poke around my pantry and see what kinds of fruit juices and random old liquors I have sitting around - and then look through the book to get some ideas on how to mix them.

I was also inspired to take see what pitchers I have to present the Sangrias in at a party. Now I want an actual Sangria pitcher... :)

I would have liked to see more photos of the actual finished Sangrias in the book. I do appreciate there is a helpful table of contents to peruse. The berry recipes  sounded quite appealing (Blueberry Sangria with chocolate cake!). The regional and holiday offerings were fun, and I really liked the historical and literary notes accompanying the various recipes. I had to laugh at the idea of Jello mold Sangria.

The author included many recipes she crafted herself from what sounds like some enjoyable sampling sessions! Her voice is pleasant and encouraging, and every recipe is clearly described.

Well worth keeping in the bar area or pantry to spark interesting beverage ideas for parties, movie nights and holiday gatherings.

UPDATE 1/20/12 - This book has recently been revised and I am upgrading it from four stars to five. The format is much more user-friendly, there are more sangria photos, and the background information has been greatly expanded.

I still want a sangria pitcher... :)

I enjoyed reading this book, for sure.  It's a fun read, written in an enjoyable tone.  I've been looking into higher frequency training for a while and this book has given me some ideas that I hadn't thought of.  Definitely provides some new ideas not introduced in other sources, such as Squat Everyday or The Bulgarian Manual (those are both great, too).  I'm looking forward to implementing these concepts.

This is a fun book to read and has some great color pictures to illustrate.  If you are interested in discovering which colors you look best in, this book has a lot of good ideas to help you.  While reading and comparing the pictures, I discovered that I had changed seasons from a few years ago, and it was fun to get new color swatches, too.  This book also has some great tips for applying eye makeup that I really liked, since I have just decided to wear eye makeup again, and I had forgotten everything I knew!  A good book to keep in my library.

I like this book! Has a bunch of creative little projects in it. Some of them are a little weird, and I would never wear them, but that could just be me!

A great book with lots of new, fun ideas.  The ideas can also be applied to any artistic endeavor and I'm sure I'll never get bored with this book.  As with all of Jon's book, it's written with fun and humor and is comfortable and enjoyable to read for musicians of all levels.
