Valentine's Day conjures up images of wine, roses, and chocolates. Yet every year young and old lovers alike are disappointed when they try to pair a Valentine's Day wine with chocolate. Either the chocolate overcomes the wine or the wine overcomes the chocolate. In the spirit of the holiday, IntoWine.com asked a panel of wine experts their thoughts on what romantic wine pairs well with Valentine's Day chocolate:
The perfect bottle for such a sweet occasion is Louis Guntrum's Scheurebe <http://www.broadbent-wines.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category_detail&category_id_int=12016> . Not only is it a very good white wine but it comes in the quintessentially perfect Valentine presentation of a bright red bottle! The Scheurebe grape is similar in character to Riesling but perhaps more food friendly. It is the right price at $16.99 to gift along with a lovely box of chocolates [my favorite valentine's chocolate purveyor being www.cocoabella.com <http://www.cocoabella.com/> ]. <http://www.broadbent-wines.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category_detail&category_id_int=12016> Buy Louis Guntrum Wines <http://www.broadbent-wines.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category_detail&category_id_int=12016> <http://www.broadbent-wines.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category_detail&category_id_int=12016> So, not only does this wine go well with a lovely dinner but it has enough richness but a dry enough finish to pair well with chocolate! This bottle should be on every table of every restaurant on Valentine's day. It brightens up the room and puts a warm smile on every face that sees it. - Bartholomew Broadbent, CEO, Broadbent Selections <http://www.broadbent-wines.com> , San Francisco.
