Okay you really must check this out–an outrageously, impossibly decadently delicious chocolate espresso truffle cake from the world famous Zabar’s in New York overnighted to your special Valentine. Throw calorie caution to the wind with this impressive gift. It tastes as good as it gets. Only $18.98 plus shipping (about $13) from www.zabars.com. The 6-ounce confection keeps in the fridge for a week and can be frozen for half a year.
I love this, a selection of romantic wines to sip with your favorite Valentine…Primo Amore (translates as: first love in Italian) Romeo and Juliet– two new wines from Zonin, a leading name in Italian wine. Aptly named for what the famous young lovers excites the taste buds with aromatic, slightly sweet, lightly effervescent characteristics. Romeo is red, Juliet is white and at just $6.99 quite a bargain. For those who take a less frivolous approach, Primo Amore Pinot Grigio (IGT Veneto) and Sangiovese-Merlot (IGT Sicily) are dry and seriously food friendly wines that, at for a buck more. And in honor of Valentine’s Day, Primo Amore unveiled an interactive website (www.http://PrimoAmore.ZoninUSA.com) on which you can send love poems, select verses by poets ranging from Shakespeare (Romeo and Juliet, of course) to Elvis (Hunk o’ Love) that celebrate love’s many splendors from several points of view.
