10 Wines for Valentine's Day

Diverse options for celebrating and romancing

Since Valentine's Day is celebrated (or not) in so many different ways, here are a diverse array of wines that will fit the bill for entertaining, intimate dinners for two, or (god forbid) sobbing alone quietly on the couch. As a guy who's been married to an Aussie for many years, please don't mind my tendency to head 'Down Under' when I'm thinking of wines for a romantic evening. Better than a six-pack of Foster's, right?

Valentine's Day Wines

Red and white suggestions for February 14

On February 14, many of us will be getting all lovey-dovey, buying roses — maybe even a full dozen — and sharing a meal with our sweetie, with a good wine, of course. This could happen at home with a dinner we've lovingly prepared together or at a favourite establishment, so we don't have to 'lovingly' do the dishes.
