If ever there was a holiday for drinking wine, it’s Valentine’s Day!
Fresh and fruity, beautifully coloured rosés / lush, full bodied red wines /
fabulous bubbles or wines with fun, playful or romantic labels. Spoil your
sweetheart with a special selection with HIGH POINT’s diverse wine selection this year.
With over 20 rosés in the store, you will have plenty of options at all price points.
Rosés are great a great choice for food pairing, even the drier versions generally have
some fruity residual sugar. They pair beautifully with tapas, charcuterie, cheese, salads, seafood, poultry, sushi and curries.
Rich red wines with dark berries, chocolate character and a hint of sweetness are great choices.
Corazon Loco translates to Crazy Heart and is a full bodied aromatic blend of Syrah, Petit Verdot, Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon with cherry, vanilla and toffee notes. $18.25 including tax/deposit.

Old world classics fit the bill at this romantic time of year.

truffles. 95 Points $68.50 including tax/deposit.
