Make this Valentine\u2019s Day one that the special people in your life will remember. February 14th is a day to show you care.<\/p>\n

Some of the easiest ways to make people feel special is with a phone call or send a card (there\u2019s still time.)<\/p>\n

However if you want to do more and \u00a0are having a difficult time coming up with a great idea for your one and only Valentine read on. Don’t let your special Valentine look at you with tears in his\/her eyes saying, \u201cDid you forget Valentine\u2019s Day again?\u201d Or perhaps when you give a bouquet of flowers, you hear, \u201cHoney, you know I\u2019m allergic to roses.\u201d Rather than risk disappointment consider some of the other ideas below.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you know they enjoy wine, why not a bottle of wine with a dinner invitation or a box of chocolate.<\/li>\n
  2. Offer a visit to a nearby winery. You may want to check out wineries with restaurants and lodging.<\/li>\n
  3. Discover wine trails in your area and invite your Valentine to travel a wine trail with you.<\/li>\n
  4. Looking for something for a cook? Check out grape seed oil at\u00a0Apr\u00e8sVin<\/a>.\u00a0This boutique company also produces gluten free flour and soaps from grape seeds.<\/li>\n
  5. Another idea is a gift of a book. Find out more about A Wine Journey<\/em><\/a>, A Wine Tourist’s<\/em><\/em>\n
