  Valentine's Day: The Art of Wooing Nothing against flowers or chocolate, but if you want to charm your partner, a little alcohol goes a long way, and in the alcohol department, nothing is sexier than wine. It's presented in an elegant bottle with a beautiful label (in a romance language a good portion of the time) and then there's the sensual experience: the sound of the bottle opening, the fragrance of the contents (violets, rose petals, perfume, toasted spice), and the flavors (black cherry, dark fruit, smoky, leathery), and then the mouthfeel (silky, velvety, rich). Not to mention the way you feel after you drink a glass! Enticed? Here are some excellent Valentine's gift suggestions:  ~ Sparkling ~Guy Larmandier NV Champagne Premier Cru Vertus (FR) ~ A sexy sparkler from Champagne with fantastic toasty aromatics jumping out of the glass, its depth keeps it grounded with structure & complexity. And with its lingering creamy finish, it is sure to delight. ~ Sophisticated & Elegant ~ Albert Bichot 2009 Pommard (FR) ~ Calling the romantic rolling countryside of Burgundy home, this wine is deep & intense with dark cherry notes while the soft tannins add complexity to this silky smooth sipper. A lovely wine to share with your loved one. ~ Hedonistic Pleasure Bomb ~ Neyers 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (CA) This Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is full of lush varietal flavors ~ chocolate & just-ripened cherries. With deeper notes of cedar box & mocha. It is velvety soft, drinking wonderfully, enjoy it now with the love in your life. ~ Sultry & Vivacious ~ Vinchio-Vaglio Serra 2010 Nivasco Brachetto (IT) ~ This is great for a night out with the girls. (Boys can be invited too!) Bright ruby pink with soft giddy bubbles. It is delightful & fun, just like your girlfriends. A great treat especially when paired with indulgent Red Velvet Cake! Happy Valentines Day & Cheers! |
