Valentine’s Day is coming up, and you might be on the hunt for a wine to go with your plans. Maybe you’re cooking a special meal for your significant other and need a wine that pairs with your food? Or you’re watching romcom’s with popcorn and want something other than diet coke?

Champagne for Valentine's Day

Here are some suggestions:

Bereche Champagne and Blini with Caviar

Vietti Moscato and strawberries (potentially chocolate covered)

JM Boillot Macon-Village goes well with seafood

Burlotto Barbera and Salsiccia Ragu – match made in heaven

Elvio Cogno Dolcetto and Pizza. I know Valentine’s Day is not on a Friday, but pizza is good any day!

White wine mood?

Looking for a good white wine to drink this summer?

White Wine

It’s summer, and white wine is on the menu for many people. Vinmonopolet has many good wines, but here are a few of my favorite ones you can find now. Note: some you may have to order, they might not be at a specific Vinmonpol that you visit. And for non Norwegain readers, I am sure you can find them other places too!

Herzu by Ettore Germano

A light, dry, refreshing riesling that is grown in Piemonte. I am not usually a big fan of riesling because I find them too sweet, but this one is perfect. Truly one of my favorite white wines!

Bourgogne Chardonnay by Matrot

Matrot makes wonderful wines, and what’s even better is that you can find a really good one under 200kr. They are proof that amazing wines do not have to cost a fortune. Truly a fresh, balanced wine.

Bourgogne Chardonnay by Carillon

Another good chardonnay that’s also not very expensive. Carillon produces great white burgundy, and it’s great that we can drink such good wines without breaking the bank!

Macon-Villages by Jean-Marc Boillot

Macon-Village is one of my favorite appellations in burgundy. There are so many good producers that make Macon-Villages, and JM Boillot is no exception.
