"With Valentine's Day just around the corner, you might be starting to plan out a date night for the occasion. While some people love the idea of celebrating at a romantic restaurant, others prefer the intimacy of being at home. That said, if you've decided to stay home on the 14th, you don't have to resort to the same old food and drink you consume all week. Instead, consider being intentional with your food and wine pairing to highlight the date."
"Speaking of easy, there's no need to get complicated with seasonings. Stick to simple flavors like fresh or dried herbs like thyme and rosemary, lemon, and garlic, and make sure to use plenty of olive oil to keep the chicken nice and moist. To pair with this comforting meal, a bottle of pinot noir is a reliable choice. It has a fresh acidity and subtle tannins, making it a good match for poultry, which is less fatty than red meat and displays subtler flavors."
Plan an intentional at-home Valentine's dinner by pairing food and wine to elevate the evening. Ten curated pairings cover red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines and fit both meat-forward and plant-based menus. Each pairing includes a bottle recommendation to simplify shopping. Roast chicken makes a cozy, low-effort entrée; use simple seasonings such as thyme, rosemary, lemon, garlic, and plenty of olive oil to keep the meat moist. Pinot noir pairs well with poultry because of its fresh acidity and subtle tannins. Choosing whole or cut pieces gives flexibility for leftovers or easy preparation.
