Valentine's Day in the Comfort of your Home

Any plans for this Valentine's Day?  Why not romance your loved one by serving a delicious home cooked meal in the comfort of your own home?

Here's what you need to set the mood for Romance...



Setting the Mood

Candles are a must!
IKEA has an excellent selection of tall / wide ivory candles as a centrepiece.


Fresh cut flowers arrangement - recommend getting a fresh cut bouquet the night before from your local grocery store and arranging the flowers at home in a pretty vase.


If you have a fireplace - get it going!  It would be ultimate romantic setting to place a small bistro table in front of the fireplace as shown on this image.


Dim the lights and turn up the music!



Music Playlist

Our friends @ Impact DJ Entertainment shared with us a modern list of upbeat Love Tunes to sit back and enjoy each other's company.  No time to make put a list together?  Jazz is always a winner!

Wine and Dine

The Little Grape That Could

Super smooth and a great conversation starter!

The Little Grape That Could is a non-profit wine company founded in Toronto by a wonderfully generous team of skilled volunteers. 100% of profits from the sale of each bottle of wine go to the charity of your choice. 


Cabernet Sauvignon
Beautifully balanced. The tannins are very soft and mellow, but it also has a good spine of acidity. Red currant and black currant flavours. Notes of cedar and plum on the nose. Medium body with a dry finish. 

Torrontés
Fresh, enticing and perfumed nose of honeysuckle, rose and citrus fruit. Palate is light to medium-bodied, youthful, fleshy with notes of candied lime peel, grapefruit, further delicate floral notes and crisp acidity. Good length with a refreshing finish.
