Maybe wine isn't your thing but you can go on a beer tasting.

Wine is a wonderful thing to share between the two of you but if you taste are a little more hometown you might trade in your wine tasting for beer tasting. There are a vast number of small brew pubs across the country that offer their own special blend of ale. Almost any larger city will have at least one brew pub where you can eat and sample their beers. They are quaint and fun to seek out. When ever just me and my partner go somewhere we try to check out at least on of these specialty breweries. The first one we ever experienced was the Smokey Mountain Brewery in Gatlinburg, TN. I have become a big fan of trying different beers around the country and I am anxious to one day try out beers from overseas. In parting make sure to drink responsibly and don't drive if you had to many of these wonderful beers.

Cheese a romantic snack?

We don't usually think of Cheese as a romantic snack. However when you put a little bit of crackers and wine with it you change the whole image. Now cheese becomes a treat of the wealthy and higher class. Even though all of these items might be from you local discount store. Once you take them out of the package no one knows. Next time the two of you sit down to watch a movie, instead of cooking a bag of microwave popcorn make a small cheese tray and open up a bottle of wine. It might seem upper class while watching a rented movie but heck it is romantic!!!!!

Toga Toga

Be a little crazy tonight on Saturday night and have a roman banquet. Get out your white sheets and make them into togas. Then spend the night feeding each other grapes and drinking wine. End the night in great roman style with gorging yourself on sex. Think of it this way at least you won't have clothes laying all over the floor, it will just look like you were changing your sheets.

In the remembrance of the great movie Animal House

Toga, Toga, Toga, Toga, Toga, TOGA, TOGA, TOGA

Rap Session

How often do you just sit down to talk about things between the two of you? Do you make time for this type of activity? A rap session isn't about beat boxing or reciting the latest SnoopDog song it is about both of you getting a chance to just talk about things effecting you. It might be the news or your work, or even the latest movie that you have just seen. The point is the rap session is where you just let your feelings out and both of you get a chance to listen and speak to your partner. Pick a time when you will be alone, after the children are in bed and you have time to yourselves. Get a glass of wine, turn the television off, and just speak what is one your mind. Take turns so it isn't just a one sided speech. When it is your turn to listen then you do just that and really listen to what your partner is saying. Let your emotions come out laugh, cry, or celebrate but make sure you are honest not only to your partner but to yourself also. These rap sessions are great ways to build your relationship and make it stronger then it has ever been.

Total romantic thing to drink - Sangria

Sangria is a wine punch that originated in Spain. It combines fruit that has been soaking in a wine to where the acidity taste of the fruit is transferred into the wine. While the alcohol taste is their it is almost covered up by the fruit taste. This is a great wine for sipping on late nights or at cordial events on hot summer days. Some sangria has added carbonation to give it a more zesty flavor. The possibilities of combinations are unlimited as you can add you own choices to the concoction to give it just the right flavors. Peaches, apples, kiwi, melon, oranges, are just a few of the many fruits I have seen in this flavorful wine. Sangria is a great choice if you don't like the dry taste of most wines as it give you a more youthful feeling while consuming it. Pick up a bottle on the way home tonight and then sit back and pour both of you a glass and enjoy the rest of your night.

It's about time to fire up the fireplace.

The air outside is starting to get cold and it is about time to fire up the fireplace. Nothing is more romantic then sitting with your lover snuggled up in front of a nice cosy fireplace. This is something you need to think about when purchasing a house. Especially if you are buying the house in the heat of the summer. In the summer you might not think a fireplace is that important. Let's look at the romance factor. Sipping wine in front of a fireplace snuggled up with you honey. The crackling sound the smell of the wood, being in your own house, things could get a little heated up and why shouldn't they. If you have a fireplace now is the time to make sure it is in good order. Get someone out to clean the chimney, clean out the opening and get all the old ashes out. That way when the time comes to build that first romantic fire of the season you or your love won't be disappointed.

Wine a little today!!

Make today wine day.  Go out and purchase a bottle of your partners favorite wine and then surprise them with it when they get home.  If you partner doesn't like wine maybe champagne will do.  Don't get beer let's make this a special day.  Since we are going with a little more class you might try to get special wine glasses also.  Plastic cups with graphics on them are not quite as romantic as a nice steemwear glass.  If your partners doesn't like alcohol then you can find a non alcoholic juice or beverage in a bottle that looks like wine.  Toast to each other and make sure to tell your partner how much they mean to you.
