(Valentine's Day: - CONT.)

This Valentine’s Day, show your loved ones how much you care with recipes that are good for them and made with an extra touch. Serve cooked beet slices, cut into a variety of heart shapes and spoon a little Blue cheese and herb filling in between the slices. Drizzle them with a fresh orange vinaigrette and serve with bouquet of salad greens. Who needs a crowded restaurant when Castello-Rosenborg® makes you a star chef!

Sherry
Perfect Pairing
Like the popular Bellini, a mixture of peach nectar and champagne, this drink was also created in Venice. The substitution of strawberries for peaches is the perfect Valentine’s Day complement. Any leftover strawberry purée can be frozen for use another day.
