Happy Valentines Day

This is one of my favorite holidays (is it a holiday?) A number of years ago Lisa and I stopped going out for a “Romantic” dinner on Valentines Day; we hated the crowds, the elevated prices for dinner, and just the generally poor quality of the experience. This also happened around the time I learned to cook. Since then valentines day has grown into a tradition around our house, some years it is just us, some years it’s dinner for twelve. Whether it is two or twelve, three things are always true at “Casa Kemmerling”, the table is beautiful (thanks Lisa), the food is the best I can do, and the wine is to die for. Since it is Valentines Day, I thought the wines this month would be from my favorite women wine makers; Delia Viader and Helen Turley. In addition to the wines, I included a couple of my favorite Valentines Day recipes.
