Cooper Mountain Pinot Noir 2021 ($33) – Oregon, United States
Arguably one of the best places in the country to get Pinot Noir is Oregon. You don’t want to miss out on this sustainable, delicious bottle of Oregon red. Cooper Mountain agrees that nothing worth having ever comes easy and Pinot Noir likes to make them work for it. But in that perfect year, under the perfect set of circumstances, Pinot Noir rewards with a celestial experience.

Jaine Columbia Valley Rosé 2024 ($27) – Washington, United States
Jaine is a toast to life’s most beautiful moments – Valentine’s Day included. Each bottle of refreshingly crisp Jaine Rosé comes from hand-harvested grapes from sustainable sites and is crafted with minimal intervention. Capturing the essence of a single vineyard, this wine aims to showcase the place, vintage, and dynamic tension unique to white wines from Washington State. This wine offers aromas of wild strawberry, spritz of lemon, and orange zest. The palate is well-balanced with a delightful, focused acidity showing fresh, vibrant, red fruits. The dry finish is focused and refreshing.
Mommessin Grandes Mises Saint-Amour 2023 ($32) – Beaujolais, France
Since 1865, the spirit of Mommessin has consisted of a Beaujolais soul and a Burgundian heart that define a style that is fruity, powerful and very close to its roots. This most Northern Cru from the village of Saint-Amour bears a name which is gentle to the ear and to the heart. It is the wine of poets and lovers. If it didn’t exist, life would be a little less charming. This wine is spicy, with complex aromas of cherry and iris on the nose. It has an ample structure, silky tannins and a fine, long finish.
Jansz Tasmania Premium Rosé ($30) – Tasmania, Australia
When you think of luxurious sparkling wines, your mind might not go to Tasmania first, but Jansz is here to change that. Tasmania’s cool latitude and maritime climate are ideal for producing elegant wines with powerful fruit flavors and high natural acidity. This delightful bubbly has strawberries and cream, rose petals, Turkish delight, and fresh brioche notes as well as a creamy texture and richness. Perfect for your Galentine’s day brunches, ‘girls’ night in’ and rom-com movie marathons.
Zenato Ripassa Valpolicella Superiore 2020 ($30) – Veneto, Italy
From the region that gave us Romeo & Juliet, it only makes sense that Zenato of Veneto, Italy, gave us such a romantic Ripassa. The Zenato family knows a thing or two about delectable reds and this Ripassa is no exception. As soon as the dried grapes for the Amarone are fermented, selected batches of Valpolicella wine are “re-passed” over the Amarone lees, thus starting a second fermentation that gives the wine a deeper color and more complex aromas. The result is a dark ruby red wine with notes of spice pepper, leather, and black currants; this wine is complex, refined, smooth and sultry. Perfect for a cozy, candlelit dinner or pairing with a big box of assorted chocolates!
