Ahh..the allure of wine! Nothing congers up a romantic moment more than a man and a woman sharing a glass of seductive red wine. But alas what to drink? Should it be "vin", "vino" or "wine"? Should it be a French red? Non! Too stereotypical. Should it be Italian? Well the Italians taught the French how to make wine, so maybe. How about American...what, we know nothing of love you say. I beg to differ! Taking a tip from a "Taigan Belle" I present to you the "Lady and the Tramp" duo of perfect wines for romance. Starting with Pineto, a classic Brachetto D'Acqui red, beautifully fizzy with a touch of sweetness...a lady on the surface but...imagine Isabella Rossellini meets Monica Bellucci...bellissima! As for the Tramp, well isn't every guy a tramp at heart? There is only one true "tramp" varietal in this land of the free and home of the brave and it's Zinfandel! My pick is Hunnicutt Zinfandel from Napa...brawny yet smooth, complex yet playful...imagine Tom Selleck meets Brad Pitt with a touch of Hulk Hogan thrown in for good measure. Both wines are sure to seduce you!
