Valentine's Day is not really our thing around Vine. Sure, sure, love, romance, sweetness, smooching, we like all that. But not because Hallmark said so.

We also like leaping at any opportunity to drink a special bottle of wine. So this year, make Valentine's Day work for you, and bring home a fun frolic of a wine. Something like FRV sparkling beaujolais.

Number one: The label looks like a French drag-queen designed it. Black with sparkly silver lettering? Yes.

Number two: The wine is deeply rosey with a lovely pink foam when you pour it. Like the grown-up version of those jello-1-2-3 desserts that were so popular when I was in middle school.

Number three: FRV starts out dry with a lush, fruity finish that is not at all trashy.

Let me put it this way: if drinking white zinfandel and WisPride cheese spread on triscuits is like reading Star; the FRV and some triple cream cheese, like an Explorateur or St. Andre, is like reading New York Magazine. YES!
