Greetings!
That time of year is upon us once again when Cupid's arrow is cocked and at the ready, threatening to strike at a moment's notice. And when he strikes, even the strongest of men will weaken at the knees, hearts fluttering, as they recite poetry to the heavens & gaze longingly into their lover's eyes. Are you prepared for such moments or will you be caught off guard and empty handed? Take out a little Valentine's Day insurance policy by stocking up on these gorgeous dry rosés and a sexy, frothy red dessert wine that will make your lover cry out for more.
Act quickly and grab a few of these elegant, sophisticated little gems, because Valentine's Day is just around the corner!
Cheers,
Eli Parker

2008 Flying Goat Cellars
"Goat Bubbles" Sparkling Rose
Santa Maria Valley, California, USA
89 Points Stephen Tanzer!
"Bright orange-pink, with a fine, energetic bead. Redcurrant and strawberry on the nose, with a hint of blood orange adding vivacity. Juicy red berry and citrus flavors are braced by tangy acidity, which adds good back-end cut. Very dry wine with admirable finishing clarity and lift. This is more refined and precise than a good percentage of pink Champagnes."
"Whether it is champagne from France, Cava from Spain, Sekt from Germany or Sparkling Wine from California, 'bubbly' inspires and results in deep thought from those who craft this effervescent beverage and those who consume it. It is the wine of toasts and of celebration. But around here, we don't believe that it is necessarily a wine to be saved for special occasions. It should be used to toast Wednesdays, a beautiful sunset, completing traffic school or just because you deserve it! So, our own Flying Goat Quote for the 2008 Goat Bubbles is: 'Toast! Not just for Breakfast Anymore!'"

NV Graham Beck Brut Rose Sparkling
Western Cape, South Africa
"Pale silver-pink. Aromas of raspberries, cherries and a few secondary whiffs of minerality. A lively mousse but fine in the mouth, with subtle red berry flavours enlivened by bright acids. Brisk on the palate, showing hints of oyster shell and fresh lavender. Flirtatious and fun, yet elegant and structured, it's perfect for all seasons and settings." ~Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Made in the traditional Champagne method, this elegant sparkling rose from one of South Africa's premier producers is a pleasant surprise. Put this in a blind tasting up against a rose Champagne that you'd pay three times as much for, and you'll very likely find yourself reaching for this gem again and again. With a fine and sophisticated mousse, gentle red fruit aromas and a crisp yet lingering finish, this is definitely a must-try! Impress the loved one(s) in your life with your wine savvy by giving them a bottle (or a case at this price!) of this great little find!
