Remy Charest
From the Wine Case with Remy Charest.What would Valentine’s Day be without that wonderful elixir – vino?Remy Charest has crawled out of the comfort of his wine case and made some suggestions for Valentine’s Day.
An idea for those wishing to make the day special, and the serving of the wine significant, would be to chose a wine that has great importance to you, to your life. And ultimately your meeting with your significant other – the love of your life. Perhaps you vacationed in Italy together and loved it? Why not a wine from that region. You met five years ago? Why not get a nice bottle of 2008. Or you met in a small french restaurant here in Montreal – a french bottle of wine. Do you remember the wine you had on your first date – or when you proposed? Get another bottle of that. In other words, chose a theme for your wine.
Here are a few choices for you to mull over.
