Rose does seem to be a good theme for a valentine's day dinner and while usually we ignore more of the gimicky stuff a nice wine dinner from Atera is always fun and delicious.

To be honest the food prob stole the show from the wine a bit on this one. There was a beef course that was just spectacular and a nice little foie bite with truffle that was quite delicious.

Bubbles to start the meal and pair with a number of the little bites. I very much used to appreciate this rose for the price point although I think the price point has increased as this producer has gotten more popular. It has always seemed a touch simple in style, but in this case I liked that as it worked as a good compliment to the food and played more of a background role rather than dominating. Also just fun to start with some pink bubbles and this was quite fresh with the red fruits still there (I think 2019 disgorgement).
