Well, we’ve made it to February folks. In some ways, it barely seems as if New Years just transpired and yet here we are, looking at Valentine’s Day this week! Hunh, what? Time flies, as they say.
Whether or not you celebrate Valentine’s Day on February 14th (or Galentine’s Day the day before - even better!), it’s hard to avoid the pink-sweet-festive spirit this month. Are you into rom-coms? Candied hearts? Boxes of chocolates? How about overpriced roses? We’re inundated with all this in the month of February whether we like it or not. And clearly, Valentine’s Day is not everyone’s cup of tea. But if you’re reading this blog post, I’m sure you’ll agree with me that Valentine’s Day certainly present an opportunity and excuse to enjoy some good wine!
So, it is with Valentine’s Day in mind that I’ve curated my most recent selection of 5 wines that you definitely need to try this week! My list is based on the LCBO’s most recent Vintages release (February 6, 2021 release date) and has a focus on wines that are perfect for a cozy and sultry mood. All of the wines that I have selected should be available in major markets and online, across the globe.
If you’re a reader that is located in Ontario like myself, it’s worth noting that this most recent LCBO’s Vintages release includes 75 wines with a focus on Italian wines. Below are a few of the wines that I think are worth your time and money.
I say this all the time but it’s worth repeating - I don’t get paid to recommend any of these wines. I only do so only because I personally find them compelling so you can count on the fact that I truly think they are worth your time. Now let’s get to it!
NOTE - If you’re shopping at the LCBO, remember that product availability will vary from location to location, and not all products last very long. Click the links below to check availability at your preferred store, or online.
