It may be one of the most romantic days of the year. However, Valentines day wouldn’t be complete with out a great wine. When planning your wine choice take into consideration what the plans for your day will look like. If the day consists of a fancy dinner your wine should compliment and create that luxury once a year vibe. If your day will include chocolate pick a wine that will stand up to that wonderful silky feel in your mouth. Finally, if no food will be involved think of how the wine you pick will help enhance your romantic activities.
If you will be enjoying a luxurious dinner my suggestion is to pick a wine that falls on the higher end of your budget that you normally wouldn’t drink. This will help in making your dinner feel that much more luxurious. Ask your local wine store or Somm. what will pair nicely with what will be on your plate. For the chocolate you will be enjoying I suggest a rich, intense or velvety wine. This will help to ensure that the wine compliments and holds up against your lovely chocolate your enjoying. Finally, for that romantic or spontaneous event try a wine that invokes fond memories for you, maybe its a favorite wine, or a wine you had when you first met or even a wine from a place you both want to travel to. No matter what wine you choose for your days events remember it will only help to enhance your romantic day!
