Do you feel the need to rush out and buy flowers or chocolate for Valentine\u2019s Day? Then rethink your plans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A wine idea is to purchase a ticket for your special person. Perhaps consider a wine tasting over the weekend, when you are likely to have more time to enjoy a leisurely glass of wine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another idea is to purchase a ticket for a wine trail event coming up relatively quickly. For instance, check out the Wine & Chocolate Trail taking place in Ohio soon.<\/p>\n

For the first two weekends of March, March 1-2, and March 8-9. From 12Noon until 6pm, 15 Ohio wineries will participate in the Chocolate and Wine Trail<\/a> event. participating wineries include:<\/p>\n
