This is a topic I had blogged about before and the wines I had mentioned included : St Amour, Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Amoureuses and Chateau Calon Segur. Having signed up to the email list of a number of wine merchants, it is interesting to see what they are promoting as the wine to drink or buy for your Valentine.
Apart from the choices above (though I had not seen St Amour being promoted), rose wine are featured by a number of retailers, both still and sparkling. Sparkling wines are also favourites amongst the promotions, but only the Deutz Amour de Deutz can claim any specifically romantic connection as such, though the Art Nouveau decoration of the bottle may let Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque champagnes in by a whisker.
The other category are dessert wines, with Tokay, Port and the higher levels of German sweet wines being promoted (really spatlese doesn't qualify though one retailer included it). There was one other that stood out from the crowd, which was the Fisher Vineyards Wedding Vineyard Cabernet from Sonoma. Perhaps the wine for proposing on Valentine's Day dinner?
