Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! If you’re looking for the perfect sip or a thoughtful gift for the one you love, you’re in the right place. This season, I’ve been tasting and hosting a lot, and I’ve rounded up some of my top picks that will spark the fire, ignite the passion, and set the mood for a romantic Valentine’s Day.

Bright & Bubbly

Pommery Pink POP Rosé – A fresh and youthful Champagne from the renowned Pommery collection. Crafted with the same principles as their signature Champagne, this lively rosé is a unique blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and a touch of red wine. Each year, they create a new blend that truly “pops”—hence the name! It’s crisp, fun, and perfect for celebrating love.

Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte Réserve Exclusive Rosé – One of France’s best-selling Champagnes and a global favorite, this stunning rosé is crafted from the classic blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier. Bursting with flavors of red currant, blueberry, and raspberry, with hints of wild strawberry, it’s an elegant aperitif to start a romantic evening.

Cipriani Prosecco – Inspired by the legendary Venetian hospitality of the Cipriani family, this Prosecco is made from Glera grapes in Veneto. With delicate bubbles and aromas of green apple, pear, and citrus zest, it pairs beautifully with seafood, antipasti, or simply a toast to love. Looking for variety? Cipriani also offers a Prosecco Rosé, filled with bright berry flavors and soft bubbles. A duo of these wines makes for a thoughtful gift for any Prosecco lover!

Romantic Red Wines & Unique Finds

Saracina Soul of Mendocino 2022 – From the sustainably farmed vineyards of Mendocino, CA, this alluring blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Grenache, and Carignan opens with aromas of black plum and savory herbs. The palate is rich with bramble-berry flavors and hints of spice, finishing with velvety tannins. Pair it with grilled meats, hearty pastas, or decadent chocolate desserts.

Rocca delle Macìe Sasyr 2023 – A bold yet elegant Tuscan red, Sasyr blends Sangiovese and Syrah, offering aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, and raspberries. The palate unfolds with notes of tobacco, chocolate, and vanilla, making it an irresistible choice for a cozy night in.

Lustau VORS 30-Year-Old Cream Sherry – This limited-edition, ultra-rare sherry (only 528 bottles released) is pure seduction in a glass. With deep copper hues and a complex, enticing nose, it sips smoothly with the intensity of an aged brandy. Enjoy it with an aged cheese course, dessert, or even a fine cigar for a truly indulgent experience.

Cream Liqueurs for Dessert Cocktails

Mozart Strawberry Cream Liqueur – A limited-edition Valentine’s favorite, this luscious strawberry liqueur is a must-have for the season. Enjoy it on its own, in a Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Cocktail (paired with Mozart Dark Chocolate Liqueur), drizzled over ice cream, or blended into a decadent milkshake for two. It tastes like the best version of fruity pebbles milk—pure nostalgia with a romantic twist!

Black Irish Cream Liqueur – Mariah Carey’s signature Irish cream is a wintertime staple, perfect for blending with ice, mixing into an Espresso Martini, or crafting a rich Irish Coffee. Its velvety texture and deep, indulgent flavor make it a strong competitor among traditional Irish liqueurs. A versatile addition to your home bar!

No matter how you choose to celebrate, these wines and liqueurs will add a touch of romance to your Valentine’s Day. Cheers to love, passion, and unforgettable moments! Please pair responsibly!
