What are you drinking tonight?
Here in the U.S. (and I assume in other parts of the world), we celebrate Valentine's Day. For some, it is a day to celebrate love and romance. For others, it's just another day.
But for many, it's a day that includes a nice dinner with a special person. Leave a comment to tell us what wine(s) you had or will have with dinner tonight. Was the wine one of your safe and reliable choices, or did you branch out into a more adventurous choice?
For my wife and I, it will probably be a bottle of Justin Justification, along with a half-bottle of some champagne with dessert. I'm not sure which champagne yet; I loaded up on various champagnes on a weekend trip to Sam's in Chicago--and if you're in the Chicago area but have never been to Sam's, go there immediately.
Whether you have a special person in your life or not, enjoy the day--any day you can drink wine is a great day!

My wine of choice tonight is a Sterling Vineyards 2003 Pinot Gris from their Oak Knoll Ranch Napa Valley, California. This is an amazingly light, well balanced white with hints of green apple and vanilla, that would work very well with a light chicken dish or seafood, like steamed shrimp - or even a light or Ceaser salad.

Tonight I'm trying Ironstone Reserve 2000 Cabernet. A local package store with a decent wine selection was clearing it out @ $14.99
I like it. I have a bit of a cold though.
I'm a "newbie" and appriciate the show.

My partner and I had a lovely bottle of 2001 Gigondas, tough to find sometimes, but BTW if you can't find Gigondas, try Vacqueras as they are both tiny villages close to each other in Provence with comparable wines - bonne dégustation!
