“Will you marry me”
Don’t worry, I’m not proposing, but reciting a saying that many of us may say or hear only once in our lives. Of course many people get to say it again and some even many times! What is clear, when we do have the opportunity to say these magic words, we want it to be as romantic and special as possible.
As we know Valentine’s day is the perfect time to pop that special question to your loved one or a nice reason to get together with your partner and enjoy maybe a special meal or evening out. We are in a constantly evolving world and becoming much more adventurous with our food and drink choices. Whilst champagne and lobster still does the trick, we are all looking for whole new experiences. To this end, we are a nation that has suddenly discovered the delights of sherry, it’s cool, even my daughter loves it!
I am not talking about popping round your grannies and digging out that dusty bottle of sherry lurking in her walnut drinks cabinet, but a nice bottle of Harvey’s PX, a rich, lusciously sweet dessert wine made from dried Pedro Ximénez grapes, giving it a delicious concentrated flavour of raisins, liquorice, black treacle and chocolate. Chill and savour like a dessert wine or drizzle over some cold ice cream. It will add that something special to your meal.
This is a leap year and tradition is in a leap year it is sometimes custom for a woman to say those special words. So ladies whether you are planning a special meal or even asking for your loved one’s hand in marriage, enjoy the moment with a glass of this rather special sherry and you never know how the evening will turn out. What is certain, your granny will not hesitate in telling you how cool she was years ago!
