It’s Valentine’s Day. What’s in your champagne flute?

At our house, we are uncorking a memorable bubbly from J Winery & Vineyards in California’s glorious Sonoma Valley. We first visited the winery outside Healdsburg about 10 years ago, a pleasant jaunt from San Francisco, where we were visiting my brother-in-law, the artist Daniel Dallabrida. We brought back a bottle of J Cuvee Brut for a party he was giving to introduce his East Coast kin to West Coast friends.

Recently, I was asked to write an article on honeymooning in wine country for Delaware Bride magazine. I immediately thought of J, which offers visitors lovely wines paired with delicious bites and spectacular scenery, as a destination for honeymooners.

At our house, we are far beyond the honeymoon stage. But we love romance and embrace an opportunity to celebrate. Tonight, we will once again enjoy J’s Cuvee Brut (MRSP: $28), a slightly citrusy sparkling wine with hints of pear, fresh bread and a whiff of angel food cake.

Here’s to you, Valentine.
