It’s been my mission to make Champagne and sparkling wine something not-too-special. And by that I mean that it’s so good, you won’t—and shouldn’t—wait for some “special” occasion or holiday to drink it!
Having said that, I DO recommend that you pop open a bottle for Valentine’s Day. It’s the perfect start to a meal, perfect for a date, perfect to liven any conversation, and there’s an almost infinite number of types, styles and prices of Champagnes and sparkling wines to choose from.
How about a Cava, from Spain? Or a Prosecco from Italy? A traditional Champagne? Or an American sparkling wine from California…Long Island…or New Mexico?
Valentine’s Day and sparkling wine, a great combination. Skip the gas station roses and the cheesy card.
Cheers.
