Though you usually don’t want to pick a wine ONLY on its label, for certain holidays and festivities, it’s nice to have a label that matches the occasion. A good holiday for that practice? Valentine’s Day!

Here are a few romantic wines to get you in the mood.

Iron Horse Wedding Cuvee: Ideal if you are married, but not necessary. This is a fantastic and delicious bubbly that is sure to put romance in the glass as well.

Hugel Cuvee Les Amours: Amours… love in French. This cuvee is a lovely, delicate wine. With aromas of fresh flowers and stone fruits, a round texture and a refreshing finish – a great way to start off your Valentine evening…

Chateau Ste. Michelle Eroica Riesling: This wine is named after a Beethoven symphony, but some (including myself) see the label and think, erotica? what? And the wine itself is so seductive in taste and flavor, this is a perfect wine for love.

Terra Valentine Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon: You can’t beat actually having Valentine in the name, can you? This winery is perched high above Napa in the Spring Mountain district. This high elevation leads to wines with structure and finesse. Delicious with a hearty Valentine’s Day dinner.

One wine won’t to, you must check out our gift idea – a half dozen or dozen “rosés” – you get six or 12 rosé wines – now who would not want that over actual roses? Reminds me of the scene in “Stranger than Fiction,” when Will Ferrell’s character gives Maggie Gyllenhaal’s character “flours” instead of “flowers.” Our case and half-case of rosé wine include some delicious pink wine perfect for Valentine’s Day. Especially if that loved one loves rosé, like me!

What are your favorite labels that fit the Valentine’s Day theme?
