Valentine’s Day is creeping up quickly and many of us are rushing to come up with that perfect gift for our special someone. If you’re racking your brain trying to figure just what to get, pour your heart out to your loved one with a superb bottle of wine! Here, 8 perfect picks for Valentine’s Day.
Now, not only will you love this wine, you’ll fall head over heels for the price. This is the Love Noir Satin Red from California. It’s satiny smooth. You’re going to taste dark cherries, raspberries and even a hint of cocoa. This would be a wonderful wine for barbecue, anything off the grill, or a glass all by itself type of wine. $11
If your lover is a fan of white wine the Louis Jadot Mâcon-Lugny Les Petites Pierres Chardonnay makes some fantastic wines and has been doing so since the mid 1800’s! The Mâcon-Lugny is a wonderful example: buttery and complex, but more reserved than a Napa Chardonnay. This bottle is fantastic with fish, spicy chicken fajitas, pasta, and aged cheese. $16
This lovely prosecco called Romeo and Juliet is easy to remember and easy to love! Lovers and non-lovers alike can enjoy this wine, with delightful hints of apples and pears. It makes the perfect starter to any meal, but it’s great all by itself. $13
The Hess Select California Rosé is made with pinot noir grapes. Compared to other Rosés, this wine is more fruit-forward and you’ll get more body. This Napa find is crisp and bursting with notes of red berries and stone fruit, with perfectly balanced acidity on its elegant finish. $13
With luscious layers of strawberries, juicy raspberry and hints of chocolate, the Luca Bosio Black Semi-Sweet was made for Valentine’s Day! This fruit-forward red blend will pair wonderfully with a plate of antipasti or light proteins like fish and poultry. The frizzante finish makes it feel extra celebratory, too! $13
If you and your “amor” are celebrating the day of love with some Italian food, Lini 910 Lambrusco Rosso will be a perfect pick for you! It starts with a nice burst of berries but finishes dry and crisp with a slight effervescence. It will pair with any pasta or pizza you may be sharing with your sweetie. $15
Every celebration needs bubbles! For Valentine’s Day, I recommend the Codorniu Anna Brut. Made in the same method as Champagne, it’s a dry sparkling with bright citrus notes of lemon, grapefruit and lime. It’s perfect if you’re looking for something low calorie, too. $13
The Freixenet Italian Sparkling Rosé will become your go-to for any occasion, but the elegant bottle makes it perfect for Valentine’s Day. Light and full of bubbles, you’ll get notes of fresh red berries and underlying hints of white flowers and apple. This pick pairs beautifully with light salads, pasta and seafood. $19
