Since I love to cook, making a delicious meal for Valentine’s Day is something I really enjoy. And even though I’ll be going out for Valentine’s Day dinner this year, the fact the celebration falls on a weekend means that I can still whip up something delicious and romantic on either Friday or Sunday instead.

Pasta has always been one of my favourite choices when looking for a quick yet delicious meal and this year, Italpasta has a fun and tasty Red Wine Spaghetti recipe that’s ideal for Valentine’s Day romance. Add a green salad and a glass of the leftover red wine for a romantic meal for two you’re sure to enjoy!

Enjoy Your Wine at its Very Best with a Vinturi Aerator-Giveaway

October 24, 2012 by Kathryn 79 Comments

When I’ve had an especially busy week and Friday rolls around, I absolutely love unwinding with a glass of good wine. There are a few wines that I especially favour but for quite some time, I’ve wished that I could bring out the flavour of the wine I drink properly with an aerator.

I’d heard in the past that all wines are best if decanted, which basically means that the wine is poured into a container to expose it to the air and release more of the aroma compounds. Generally, red wine is at its best if decanted one to two hours before serving and white wine should be decanted about ten to twenty minutes before being poured.
