Think you mix a mean Sangria? Here’s your chance to prove it

A Taste of Wine, 90 S. Main St. in Miamisburg, will host a sangria smackdown — a sangria-making contest followed by, naturally, a sangria tasting (or in this case, tasting and judging) — on Saturday, May 3.

The sangria-making contest will start at noon, and the tasting/judging will start about 2:15 p.m. and last until about 6 p.m. Prizes — including a Taste of Wine gift certificate and donations to the winner’s charity of choice — will be awarded for both best red and best white sangrias.

Here are the Taste of Wine sangria contest rules:

— There’s a $10 entrance fee.

— The wine you use for the sangria must be purchased at Taste of Wine (the shop can special-order a wine if you desire).

— Sangria must be made at the wine shop, not mixed at home and carried in. BYOF — Bring your own fruit.

— Your recipe must make one gallon.

For more information or to RSVP, call A Taste of Wine at 937-247-1120.

'Hamlet 2' [movies]

Plenty of laughs are in store in the comedy smash of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Steve Coogan plays high-school drama coach Dana Marschz. While trying to stage a lighthearted sequel to Shakespeare's famous tragedy he faces laughable hardships including a bender that leaves him lurching into a liquor store on roller skates in search of the cheapest booze. His flock of students includes one mute girl who's the object of as many random assaults as Kenny from "South Park." And the stage production at the movie's climax includes a song called "Rock Me, Sexy Jesus." More »
