Valentine’s Pick of the Week

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

Pick of the WeekFrom award-winning Spier comes a delicious profusion of candy, strawberry and lingering berries produced from handpicked pinotage grapes. Retailing for R20 a bottle, Spier Discover Rose is an affordable indulgence for romantic engagements on Valentine’s Day… or for simply celebrating your single-diva-hood!

Pair the wine with cold soup or chicken and serve well chilled with hot romance and evening picnic on 14 Feb… or spoil your love (or yourself) with a gift of this wine with delectable chocolates. For the more daring divas it could be presented with a fun serving of body-chocolate!

Some Tasting Hints:

Wine of origin Western Cape.

14,11% alcohol.

An attractive, deep pink wine that’s well-structured, fruit-driven and ready to enjoy now. The nose rewards with hints of strawberry and candy, leading to full, ripe berry flavours that linger pleasantly on the after-palate.

Enjoy now, on 14 Feb or within 2 years of harvest.

I love you so much

Here is something for you and your sweetheart to share on Valentine’s day…

“I love you so much” Rose 2006 is on sale in Pick n Pay stores for R29.95 from 6 February 2007 till the stock is sold. But it is only available in Western Cape stores in the Pick n Pay group.

Sniff sniff for us Gauteng lovers…Why not national? Pick n Pay decision – It’s a trial run for this new initiative and they decided to do it only in an area that they can supervise.

My guess is that the stock will not last till Feb 14 so make haste fair Valentine!
