Let me lead off by saying our Ultimate Valentine’s Day Dinner for Two makes it super easy for the big day – crab-topped filet mignon, chocolate dipped strawberries and the works) – save $5 when you order online. Save another $10 when you buy Veuve Clicquot, a fine French champagne bound to impress.

Want to get the biggest bang for your valentine’s day buck? Try to stick to one wine that will see you through appetizer and meal.

• Chardonnay pairs well with chicken or crab – think of a creamy appetizer, cheese or soup to start with.

• Cab is a classic with beef – lead off with Cheddar or smoky dishes.

A few can’t miss ideas:

• Under $10
Chardonnay: Wente Morning Fog
 A soft Chardonnay that I was only introduced to a few weeks ago.

Cabernet: Chateau St. Jean
You’ll save over $5, no less.

Pinot: Mirassou
A smooth and soft Pinot – remember, Pinot is a perfect partner to all kinds of food!

Bubbly: Freixenet
Try the pink one!

• Under $15
Chardonnay: La Crema
I know I say La Crema a lot but I can’t resist $10 off a wine. I can’t. Not. Possible.

Cabernet: Clos du Bois
A good time to use your coupon. I’m not sayin’, I’m just sayin’.

Pinot: Concannon
Supremely easy-drinking.

Bubbly: Gloria Ferrer
If you want it pink, try the Blanc de Noirs.

• Secret Splurge
Cabernet: Frei Brothers Reserve
$22.99, $11 off its usual price!

Chardonnay: Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay
$25.99, only $2 off, but oh-so-worth the splurge, dear reader

Pinot: MacMurray Ranch
At $19.99, it’s $8 off the regular price

Bubbly: Veuve Clicquot or Moët & Chandon
Both are $13 off regular price! (Veuve is on sale for $39.99, Moët is $29.99)

Happy Valentine’s Day!
