It’s that time again to start thinking of dim lights, soft music and what to make for dinner to impress that special someone.

We did some research to make your job easier and found a perfect Aphrodisiac pairing; Shrimp Alfredo Pasta and Pinot Gris.

This romantic and seductive dinner for two will tantalize and tempt the senses, from the delectable creamy pasta to the velvety finish of the wine, this meal is sure to please.

Wine, the romantic beverage of choice, has been recognized for its ability to put people in the mood for love. There is nothing like a chilled glass of fine wine to soothe the soul and release inhibitions. Pinot Gris is the perfect pairing for shrimp Alfredo pasta. Dry, crisp, and with a subtle floral & fruity aroma, this light-bodied choice compliments and enhances the flavor, adding to the enjoyment and charm of your amorous meal for two.

Now imagine sitting with that special someone… the lights are dim, the meal smells divine and the wine; the perfect compliment where anything is possible.
