Valentine's Day
You and your Valentine go so well together – so your romantic meal and what you drink with it should be no exception. Hot off the pages of the Winter issue of TASTE, we’ve got a cozy menu for two with the perfect pairings to complement it.
SAVOURY COEUR À LA CRÈME SERVED WITH RED PEPPER RELISH
Cheese boards are amazing, but it’s easy to buy too much when you’re only serving two. Enter the Coeur à la crème, a creamy, heart-shaped French treat. While it’s typically a sweet cheesecake-like dessert, this savoury version reimagines it as an appetizer that is a great match with Champagne or rosé.
CAJUN BUTTER GLAZED STEAK SERVED WITH SWISS CHARD & LENTIL SALAD
A porterhouse steak is the perfect cut for sharing between two people. Spiced up with Cajun butter and served with a hearty salad, it calls for a big wine with presence, like a high-end Napa Cab or a BC-meets-Bordeaux red blend.
RECOMMENDED PAIRINGS
RED BERRY & MERINGUE CHEESECAKE
This stunning dessert is piled high with kisses of meringue and rouged up with tons of fresh berries. Früli, a strawberry-infused Belgian wheat beer, and Chambord, an iconic French berry liqueur, will suit the fruit in the cheesecake perfectly.
