You don't want to drink alone, especially on Valentine's Day. So I set out to find some wines that couples could cozy up to, even if they have differing tastes.

In short, I was looking for white wines that weren't fluffy, red wines that weren't scruffy and a sparkler that was not too pink or cloying.

Louis Latour 'Duet' Chardonnay-Viognier 2005

Vin de Pays des Coteaux de L' Ardeche, France$11. (Distributed by Monsieur Touton Selections)

A happy union of chardonnay and viognier grapes yields a wine with a bright apple body and lingering acidity. This white has been known to hook red-wine drinkers.
