From experience, we all know Valentine’s Day at a restaurant can be hectic and restricted to fixed menus. For those of you who prefer to stay home and cook up a romantic meal, here is some inspirational recipes with affordable wine recommendations. 

• Coquilles St Jacques paired with  2012 Les Vignobles Gueissard Bandol Rosé ($18)
• Sweet Potato Gnocchi in Sage Brown Butter paired with  2010 Clone 5 Pinot Noir ($20)
• Simple Beef Prime Rib paired with  2012 Esporao Reserve Red ($20)
• Salted Caramel Budino paired with  Venegazzu Montelvini Asolo Prosecco Extra Dry DOCG ($15)

BONUS – breakfast:  Waffles with Raspberries and Nutella

Whichever dish you decide to prepare for your loved one(s) this Valentine’s Day, I hope your meal is paired with love.

Cheers,

Veronique
