Melissa’s Produce Valentine’s Day Giveaway!

By Erin

Are you ready for Valentine’s Day? Melissa’s Produce has some perfect gift baskets for Valentine’s day, like this “For My Love” Basket ($96.79).

Melissa's Produce For My Love Wine Basket Wine Fruit

I am partnering with Melissa’s Produce to giveaway one of these special baskets to one of our readers to show our love and appreciation for all of you! Will you be our Valentine? 😉 

Melissa's Produce Fruit & Wine Gift Basket Giveaway
Giving your loved one a beautifully wrapped basketful of Melissa’s premium Butterscotch Pears combined with decadent Chocolate Toffee Almonds and Chocolate Bridge Mix, and finally a bottle of sparkling 2013 Schramsberg Blanc de Blanc, you will surely win their heart.

Schramsberg Blanc de Blanc was the first wine Schramsberg produced in 1965 and was America’s first commercially produced Chardonnay-based brut sparkling wine. It gained international recognition in 1972 when then President Nixon served the wine at the historic “Toast to Peace” in Beijing, China.

The Schramsberg style of Blanc de Blancs is dry and crisp. Small lots of malolactic- and barrel-fermented wines are added for complexity. With its vibrant, fruitful and crisp nature, this sparkling wine will maintain its freshness, structure and refined finish for many years, even decades following its initial release.

“The 2013 Blanc de Blancs has bright and fresh aromas of grapefruit, mango, apricot, lemon, and white peach. The fruitful fragrance intermingles with hints of fresh bread, vanilla cream pie, and rose petals. Freshly sliced Gravenstein apples, zesty citrus, and bright pineapple flavors carry vibrant length on the palate.” – Winemakers Keith Hock and Hugh Davies.

Deliciously paired with Melissa’s premium Butterscotch Pears and combined with decadent Chocolate Toffee Almonds and a Chocolate Bridge Mix, you can’t go wrong with this winning combo for you and your Valentine to share!
