"A day for men to express love to women" - that is Valentine's Day in Spain, "the country of passion".

In Spain, it seems to be customary for men to express their love to their girlfriends, wives, mothers, and other close women through gifts. On Valentine's Day, it's not just chocolate, but also wine 🍷 that is often given as a gift.

For men who want to make Valentine's Day special, why not give wine to your loved one, contrary to Japanese custom? It pairs perfectly with chocolate, and women are sure to love it! ❤❤❤

Jumbo Tours also has many wines that pair well with chocolate, but please allow me to introduce just three!

■ Castel MIMI Roche de Bouabaoca 2018

Red Wine Grape Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec

The aroma and taste of dark forest fruits and smoke are mellow, dominated by various pleasant sensations including plums, pomegranates, and spices like cinnamon. It has a slight sweetness, making it a good match for chocolate. The Bordeaux blend has a very well-balanced and elegant taste, making it perfect for Valentine's Day. The label is also cute, isn't it?

■ Gitana Saperavi 2017

Red Wine Grape Varietal: 100% Saperavi

A proud masterpiece from GITANA WINERY! This indigenous Georgian Saperavi varietal, harvested 100% by hand, is aged in ceramic amphorae. It has an aromatic taste with a long finish of blackberry flavor and rich fruit aromas. With its moist and elegant tannins, I believe it would pair well with a high-quality, not-too-sweet chocolate. This is a recommended wine for those who enjoy Syrah from the Rhône region of France!

■ Gitana Monasterial Rohrbach Cru 2019

White Wine Grape Varietal: 100% Riesling

In the terroir of Rohrbach, Riesling saplings were planted at historically unprecedented wide intervals. This masterpiece was made from fully ripened Riesling grapes, grown under abundant sunlight and harvested at the end of November. While red wine generally pairs better with chocolate, this white wine boasts an elegant richness that can stand up to the taste of sweet chocolate. This Riesling pairs broadly with everything from sweet treats to brandy-filled chocolates. Even those who usually only drink red wine will be satisfied with this white wine.
