Around the Tri-State: This week, we meet Bo DiBuono the owner of Manor Sangria!

It all started at 20 years old when Bo was working at a country club serving up drinks at the Tiki Bar. When people started requesting the sangria, he started to serve it but not very well at first. He even started making his own wine, creating recipes for sangria over the years.

After working on his craft for a while, he noticed his sangria was bringing people together! His patrons would turn around and tell everyone around them just how delicious the sangria was! It was all about word of mouth, which Bo absolutely loves.

To this day, Manor Sangria is thriving and is available in 20 different markets in New York, as far as the Hamptons. And, breaking news right here on CBS-FM you can find Bo and Manor Sangria at Union Square and Columbus Square Holiday Markets!
