Honestly, I don't even know if she's good at wine, or if we just have similar tastes. I like to think both.<br /><br />I do like chianti, and I didn't know that about the rooster on the bottle, so thanks for that.

But someday we'll do this! <br /><br />Your tablescape is beautiful and the gift bags were such a fun little extra that didn't cost you must! I need to think about what I could do for a gift bag for my bachelorette party in May (these is girls gone mild - ha!). Good suggestion to hit up the dollar store. I've gotten a couple of things there for my DIY wedding projects and they are soooo much cheaper than what I would have paid elsewhere.<br /><br />I will have to find that white - sounds delicious! Reminds me of the description I heard at a wine tasting I went to when I lived in Charlotte. The person doing the tasting called the wine a 'porch pounder or pontoon pounder' because she said she could see it being a perfect wine for a warm summer night when you are outside with friends!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-69762890701293945962017-02-19T09:28:53.281-05:002017-02-19T09:28:53.281-05:00Looks like a colourful and tasty Valentine's c...Looks like a colourful and tasty Valentine's celebration.

HOWEVER, I was intrigued by the party theme, the appetizers, the beautiful meal, and the tiramisu. The pot holders were incredible gifts, but I think Rick's gift must have topped them all. How gracious of him.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing these wines, although I was more interested in the roses, vintage Valentines, and other goodies you shared with us. I always love it when the party is at your place.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-13675856341145763202017-02-17T22:37:25.798-05:002017-02-17T22:37:25.798-05:00What a great evening, Jeanie.
