A strong white wine, chardonnay has a tart grape taste.   Not a sweet wine, Chardonnay feels rich in the mouth, leading some people to describe it as buttery.   If your Valentine regularly drinks white wine, Chardonnay is a good choice; if not, you may want to choose something sweeter.

Merlot Glass

Considered an introductory red wine, Merlot is smooth, slightly sweet, and lacks the intense bitterness of some reds.  While it's a favorite of beginning red wine drinkers, Merlot sometimes proves itself too bitter for people who are new to wine all-together.
