										Okay, so, apparently, there&#8217;s a thing called Valentine&#8217;s Day that&#8217;s around the corner? Something to do with chocolate?
Actually, according to lots of people (in particular, PR persons), Valentine&#8217;s has to do with matching wine and chocolate. More specifically, red wine and chocolate. By which people generally mean dry red wine.
I&#8217;m not in your mouth, people, [...]]]></description>
