Valentine’s Day means romance, and what’s more romantic than dinner and drinks with your sweetheart? To set the mood, start with bubbles! Sparkling wine or Champagne goes with everything and is the perfect beginning to your evening of love. Show your style by pairing wine with your dinner: red wine for meats and heartier dishes, white wine with seafood or lighter dishes. Try a bold red like Cabernet Sauvignon or a Bordeaux blend; for whites, a creamy Chardonnay or refreshing Chenin Blanc will set the mood. After dinner, get cozy with a glass of Bourbon or a Tawny Port. You’re sure to impress your date and create a memorable Valentine’s Day to make Cupid proud.
