February feels hopeful with slightly longer days and the early signs of spring's arrival in Provence. Even if you can see your breath in the air, one good indication of warmer days ahead is when the first bunches of sunny yellow mimosa appear in the local market. Take a walk in the Provencal countryside, and you will see signs of nature's renewal with the delicate white-pink almond blossoms.
However, since winter has its icy grip on much of the Northern Hemisphere, we bring you a warm seasonal menu. Curated by Susan Tipton of Acquiesce Winery in Lodi, California, this 3-course dinner party selection combines the flavours of Provence with Rhône-style wines from California.
With Valentine's Day around the corner, our Valentine's shopping guide includes a terrific selection of gift ideas (candles, gift boxes, linens, and more) for that special someone. Our partners have included discount codes on their products for orders placed before February 14th. In addition, we have pulled together some dinner ideas for a romantic evening, including festive cocktails.
