Sweetheart Salad & Giveaway!
By Erin
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Have you gotten your Valentine a little something sweet yet or maybe splurge a little and treat yourself to a much deserved gift to yourself? Take a look at this sweet Pinkglow Pineapple Rosé Gift Basket from Melissa’s Produce! Pink Different this Valentine’s Day with the Pinkglow Sparkling Rosé Gift Basket! Filled with a Pinkglow Pineapple 💕 Sparkling Rosé 💕 Chocolates 💕 and lots of love! 💕
Since we cannot actually travel to a tropical paradise right now, experience a taste of a remote tropical paradise on Valentine’s Day with your loved one by gifting a beautifully wrapped basketful of goodies.
This unique and rare sweet treat, the Pinkglow pineapple by Del Monte is the perfect way to pretend it’s not winter. Melissa’s pairs this crownless* pink-hued majestic wonder with Chocolate Bridge Mix of nuts, caramels, and dried fruit and an award-winning 2019 Rosé of Pinot Noir by Sonoma-Cutrer.
The Pinkglow Pineapple has a delicious and unique taste, with notes of candy pineapple aromatics, which pairs perfectly with this Rosé from Russian River Valley. In the glass, the wine reveals a gorgeous, peony blush color and opens up to aromas of wild strawberry and pink grapefruit. On the palate, you will find the crisp flavor of watermelon, a hint of powdered sugar and just a slight glimmer of hibiscus tea.
Carefully crafted sugar-free milk and dark chocolate almonds and caramels, double dipped macadamias, and milk chocolate cashews balance out this basket of indulgence.
*Fresh Del Monte Produce is currently planting all Pinkglow™ pineapple crowns in an effort to increase the volume of Pinkglow™ pink pineapple crops and reduce waste.
Hawaii prohibits the shipment of any pineapple into their state.
