Budget Wine Recommendation for Valentine’s Day

Are you planning on serving a nice big steak to your sweetie for Valentine’s Day? Have you looked at the price of rib eyes? I think I’d really have to like someone a lot to spend $15 on a steak! But, if you have someone in your life worth taking out a second mortgage for, and if you have your heart set on a big old hunk of red meat, I have a wine recommendation that won’t break your budget too badly. It’s a really nice cab, complex, balanced with overtones of blackberry and vanilla and I found it in my local wine store for around $20. Typically, I look for less expensive bottles, but this one is worth it if you are having a nice steak and want a real treat. It drank more like a $40 bottle to me, so I thought it was a bargain.

Happy Sweetheart Day!

 

xxoo,

RMW

    Since I am the only wine drinker in the family, husband won’t touch it, I am always looking for a bargain and I thank you for this one. I may even share with my wine partner next door as her husband will be away tomorrow.

    A good red wine with steak is a must.
