C.S., I Love You
on February 16, 2012
Valentine’s Day might be behind us now, but love is still in the air for me.
As a recent bride, it was my first Valentine’s Day with my husband as a married couple, and I wanted it to be as special as possible. I’ll admit that I was excited to finally be able to buy a Valentine’s Day card from the “Husband” section at Hallmark, but the pressure was on…what should I give my husband that shows I’m excited to be his wife? Should the tone be sexy or sweet? Traditional or creative? With so many options, it finally hit me that since the day is about celebrating with the ones we love, and I love Cabernet, that I should treat my new husband to some luscious Nickel & Nickel Cabernets!
I thought even more about our recent nuptials in Sun Valley with its heart-stopping views and romantic setting, and decided to put together a case of the luscious Cabernets we chose to celebrate with at our wedding. Each wine was a special pick that mirrored our tastes: the 2005 Witz End Cab was a little bit country and a little bit rock’n roll; the 2008 Quarry Vineyard was an intoxicatingly beautiful Cabernet; and the 2006 Dolce satisfied our craving for sweetness with some hidden surprises. These beguiling wines created a most festive and indelible moment sprinkled about the tables. The wines infused our Valentine’s Day with wonderful memories of our nuptials, and I think an annual tradition has found its start!
