Feeling a bit naughty? Want to place someone in a romantic mood? The most effective way to do so is with to prepare a dinner at home. Going to one of the restaurant's in the Philippines is good, but if you can't afford to or want to do something different, take out the candles, and serve... aphrodisiacs.
Bring out the Bubbly!
A bit of the bubbly will make any dinner extra special - or after dinner more exciting. Champagne, of course, is expensive but here's a clue of what you can do to still get the enjoyment of popping the cork and the tingling sensation of drinking a bubbly.
If you can't afford the real thing, there is a fabulous alternative.
It's called Asti Spumanti. There are a number of labels to choose from but my all-time favorite is Martini & Rossi.
I remember Ralph's Wines that was located in Makati Avenue. From these humble beginnings, Ralph Joseph, worked hard pursuing his dream to be one of the best wine merchant in the Philippines. The younger brother of Ralph was usually around also, working on papers, and aiding his brother to reach the dream - which they did.
One night, I stepped into Ralph's Wines, and Ralph was there. He waved at me, dropped everything he was doing, and pulled me excitedly towards the upright chiller filled with wines and spirits, perfectly cold and ready to drink.
Ralph pulled out a bottle and said, "Try this!".
I did, and it was love at first sip.
That one sensational taste that I will not forget, along with the multitude of wines and spirits that Ralph asked me to try over the years with his tasting events, which are all wonderful.
Go to the nearest Ralph's Wine to see what kind of fizzy drink you can serve on Valentine's or any other special occassion. If you want red or white wine, try Ralph's Wines exclusive labels. I am sure the any of the staff can recommend to you a bottle of great wine that's suits the most discriminating taste.
