A spirited toast to all things alcoholic! by\u00a0Leslie Dinaberg<\/a>\u00a0 |<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Sunstone \u00a0Vineyards<\/a>\u00a0& Winery is uncorking its newest\u00a0EROS 2011 Release<\/a>, a popular blend of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0\u00a0winemaker Bion Rice<\/a>, “Eros 2011 may be the best ever.” They are collaborating with local French chocolatier, Chocolates du Calibressan<\/a>, and adding a lovely new pairing to the line-up: macarons by French creator, Claire Becker of Duverger Macarons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This weekend’s annual EROS Release (at the winery, 125 N. Refugio Rd. in Santa Ynez) will include three of their EROS signature blends, their Sunstone Port still in barrel, and the best of their current wine selections.<\/p>\n

Rice has chosen each wine personally and carefully paired it with\u00a0chocolates and\u00a0macarons.<\/p>\n

Tastings will be held on Saturday, February 15 from noon to 4 p.m. and Sunday, February 16\u00a0from noon to 4 p.m.\u00a0Click here<\/a> to make reservations online.<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n
