#1 Bubbles!
There’s nothing more romantic than a bottle of bubbles! Whether you splurge on a great bottle of Champange or stick with a favorite Prosecco, raising a toast to your partner is a great way to start off the night. Here are some of our favorites:

Marc Hebrart Brut Rose $57.99
This is a beautiful and delicate rosé Champagne that’s sure to get anyone in the mood.
#2 Rosé
Pink wines may seem a little cliché for Valentine’s Day but we love them anyways! We have dozens of roses on sale for the month of February. Stop in and ask one of our wine staff for a recommendation.
Pair with cheeses and cured meats, salmon, roasted chicken, Brussels sprouts, and pork tenderloin.
#3 Big Reds

Blackberry, cocoa licorice on the nose. Full-bodied palate with fig and plum fruit, and chalky tannins. Pair with prime rib, beef short rib, blue cheese, or even dark chocolate.
#4 Dessert Wines
A little something sweet on Valentine ’s Day is almost obligatory. Why not serve a dessert wine with some cheese, chocolate, fruit, or on its own!
