Wolves are super romantic animals. Not only do they mate for life, but they also show affection for each other throughout their time together, which is more than we can say for most American couples. A lick of the face here, a nuzzle there—these cuddly carnivores are all about the PDA. Sweet, right? Kind of makes you want to take your sweetie by the scruff and trot over to Grey Wolf's Soul Mate Release Party this Valentine's Day Weekend, Feb. 16 through 18. Sip on the Paso winery's newly released Soul Mate grenache rose, boogie to live tunes, and (cue the Barry White voiceover) savor cupcake and wine pairings, baby. If that doesn't sound sweet enough, you'll also get a first taste of Grey Wolf's highly anticipated Soul Mate red blend, a Rhone offering that explodes with dried wildflowers on the nose and juicy blackberries on the lips. Knock on wood, but if your date has the nerve to stand you up on Valentine's Day weekend, you can always drown your sorrows in on some sexy Philly cheesesteak macaroni and cheese, provided by Chef Jeffry of Barton's Kitchen Window. It actually may be better than a late night booty call.
