Valentine's day should be fun! It is a day to remember the special someone in your life (and contribute to Hallmark's stock) by showing them that you care...at least for a day anyway.
Too often though, we are caught up in too much of trying to 'do the right thing". There are decisions to be made about cards, flowers, gifts, chocolate, where to dine (if you can still get a reservation) and what to eat and drink.
If you are lucky enough to have made a reservation at your s.o.'s favorite spot, then you are a forward thinker! But what should you do when you arrive? What to drink?
Many times we find folks ordering champagne on special occasions not really because they like it or even know the difference between blanc de blanc or blanc de noir, but because they feel they are supposed to drink something bubbly. Bubbles are fun and bubbles are festive. Bubbles are something special, something we don't do every day.
Valentine's Day is the perfect occasion to drink some bubbles, to do something out of the ordinary...
...so I would like to make a suggestion...try our Sparkling Riesling! It is a Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt 2002 Majoratsfullung Brut. This means it is going to be dry!
This German sparkler was showing a hint of off-dry fruit, and some nominal amounts of toast. But this is more in a light and airy refreshing style. This wine is an easy drinker and can compliment many foods...this would be especially delicious with our Pasta Primavera.
Valentine derives from the word "valens" and means 'worthy". We certainly think this sparkling Riesling is worthy of your Valentines Day celebration.
XOXO
