Valentine’s Slumber Recipe
Give it a rest, Romeo. Take a jolly break, Juliet. There’s no need to be continually lip-locked, hands in back pockets, overly snuggled up in a manner that would embarrass Don Juan. Take a breather, at least long enough to knock back a glass of this sleepy number, but together with genuine, dry, frizzante Lambrusco from Italy (don’t get suckered into the still variety, or–gasp–the American variety) and some other choice players. Even if you only stop the amore long enough to take a sip or three, at least you’ll be able to get back at it in a more fortified manner.
