A new romance is always so exciting.  So is a nice glass of wine.  So much to love!

The tradition has favored women throughout history, being the receivers of flowers and chocolate.  These days, it’s OK to impress your man, ladies.  We are quite easy!  A nice bottle of wine, or port for that matter, does the job.  I might be partial here, but walk with me for a second….

After a long February 14th at work, you both are exhausted.  The last thing you want to think about is your run-of-the mill flowers and chocolate, and only one person gets those. (The ladies get off so easy!  Guys – if you are getting flowers and chocolate, we need to have a chat.)  Though the flowers are gorgeous and the chocolates decadent….we both know they don’t last.

So let’s say you still go the flowers and chocolate route.  Now, throw in a nice bottle of 2007 Caro Amancaya Malbec from Argentina, some candles, served in Tiffany wine glasses…now you are on a whole new level!  It’s the perfect gift from guy to gal (and I tend to be a biased male wine-lover).   A memorable evening of wine that lasts.  And of course, wine has healthy antioxidants!  (So does dark chocolate, but let’s forget that for a moment.  But if you can’t, Scharffen Berger 82% Cacao is the perfect pairing with wine.)

A perfect Valentine’s evening awaits!  I wonder what my wife got me this year….

WCI out
