Wine And Love Are A Perfect Match

I started thinking about wine couples after meeting Suzanne Phifer-Pavitt of Phifer Pavitt Wine. So many boutique wineries have two loves at their root: love of good wine and the love of the couple or family that makes the wine. The story of Suzanne Phifer-Pavitt and her husband, Shane Pavitt is the classic successful city couple moves to the countryside fable. The pair now live in the Napa Valley with their children. They created Date Night Cabernet Sauvignon because they were inspired by their own date nights spent with a bottle of wine dreaming of the future. Suzanne calls Shane her "forever Valentine" and he says that "Every love story is a unique journey of chance and destiny. Date Night is a fond memory of your perpetual journey." Their 2005 Date Night Cabernet Sauvignon sells for $75.
