On Valetine's Day I was treated to a rare event. The boyfriend came out to the suburbs to have dinner with me. We are both early risers so staying out late on a school night doesn't happen very often. When the boyfriend got here he had a box of chocolates for me. How sweet! I gave him a box of chocolates as well.

Before the boyfriend got here I made a call and got a reservation at a relatively new wine bar near my house. We went to the Idylwood Grill (their website sucks). They had a special menu for Valentine's Day. We had a four course meal with a different wine served with each course. We had lobster bisque, asparagus hollandaise, filet mignon, chicken florentine, chocolate cake, and creme caramel. With these foods we had a Cristalino Brut, a Sauvignon Blanc, a Pinot Noir, a Cabernet Sauvignon, a Moscato, and a Tawny Porto.

I was brave and tasted most things. I really enjoyed the filet mignon and the wine pairings. We took our time and enjoyed our conversation and the setting. We plan to return to the wine bar and check out their regular menu. We had a wonderful evening and I couldn't be more in love with my boyfriend then I am right now.
