A Good Glass of Wine February 2006

This month I’ve unearthed some terrific values on wines that are just right for cozying up by the fire with your sweetie: hearty reds, seductive whites and lovely little sparklers.

Viognier
With its floral aromas and luscious fruit and vanilla flavors, this wine is currently making a splash among wine lovers in a “move over, Chardonnay” sort of way.

• Yalumba “Y” Series from South Australia ($10.99)
• Smoking Loon ($9)
• Clay Station ($13)

Prosecco
Bubblies never need to break the bank, especially if you reach for the Italian classic, Prosecco.

• Zardetto ($14)
• Martini and Rossi ($13-$15)
• Mionetto Il Prosecco, available in a half bottle ($6.99)

Cabernet Sauvignon
Often called a “big” wine because of its bold, juicy flavors and rich, full body, Cabernet Sauvignon will warm up any night and goes great with chocolate, too—how perfect for Valentine’s Day.

• Rex Goliath ($8.99)
• Hahn Central Coast ($14)
• Little Penguin ($8)
