Wine -- February 2008

Dear Wine Lover:

February isn't only a month of love, but also a month of beauty. I can honestly say we've chosen some very beautiful wines to feature for this short period of time. Beauty of form, beauty of aroma, beauty of palate--wine is that romance of many dimensions that we all search for.

My first choice for the month is the Banfi Rosa Regale Brachetto d'Aquia, an elegant sparkling red wine from Italy. The perfect Valentine's Day wine, you'll love sharing a glass with your sweetheart over a rich dessert. Read on to rapture.

The second feature -- the Arrocal Tempranillo 2005 -- holds its own beautifully as a Valentine's Day wine. Richly purple and berry-like, serve this with a romantic dinner at home. Read more by clicking here.

Our third selected wine is the Nessa Albarino 2006, a crisp white that provides a refreshing balance with our first two decadent reds. Like the Tempranillo, Nessa also originates from Spain. You can learn more about it by reading the third article.

Don't forget to check back with us after Valentine's Day, when we'll be adding a bonus wine to our features: an intense red from Argentina. And remember to mark your calendar for our FREE wine events happening this month. We can't wait to see you there.

Cheers,
John Coleman
