The theme for our February Wine Down Wednesday is “A Mon Valentin” or “To My Valentine”
Happy Valentine’s Day wine lovers. Every Wednesday in February we will be featuring three quaffable French wines from the Loire and Rhone regions. Why French? Well, traditionally the French celebrate Valentine’s Day with much enthusiasm. There are many festivals and the first Valentine’s Day cards are said to have originated in France!
The wines that we will be featuring are the kinds of wine you would be drinking if you were visiting a Paris cafe. So, bring your Valentine with you any Wednesday in February and pretend you’re in a “Brasserie” in Paris!
Chateau Moncontour, Vouvray, Loire Valley
This is a Chenin Blanc from the Vouvray appellation of the Loire Valley. It is a demi-sec style wine. This wine has a wonderful balance of acidity and sweetness with hints of green apples, pears and lemony citrus, with a long finish.

Moillard “Les Violettes” Rouge, Cote du RhoneThis wine is a beautiful blend of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre and Cinsault from the southern Rhone region. It is a lively wine with fresh black berry fruit flavors, a hint of spice and just the right amount of tannins.
