You can't say the word romance without saying "Roma". Spend the day with a loved one preparing a delicious and sensual Italian meal. This romantic dinner is a great gift to give yourself and your partner. Take a day. Spend it together cooking amazing food and sample some beautiful wines. OR you can give this meal as a gift.

Romance is really very easy. Here are some simple, yet highly romantic, things that you can do to spice up any day.

One: write llittle romantic notes and leave them where your loved one will unexpectedly find them.

Two: start a fire, literally and figuratively. A fire in the fireplace is a sure way to warm the heart. No fireplace? Candles placed around the room are instant romance. And most romantic of all... a candlelit bubble bath!

Three: cook together. Plan a romantic Italian dinner. Spend the day buying the freshest ingredients. Make your own pasta - a sensual delight! Sample the wines. Take the phone off of the hook!. Turn off the TV. This is no 30 minute meal. Reclaim your kitchen. Make it a living room! Make it a LOVING room!

A Big Slice is proud to present our very own wine tasting kit, the Bacchus Box, a complete evening of fun in one rosewood box! Challenge your friends to a taste off. May the best wine win! No one, not even the host, knows the identities of the selections. Observe, smell, taste, rank, vote. Was yours the nectar ...or the salad dressing? A relaxed and fun way to discover new favorites. And remember, there is always a next time with the Bacchus Box. Includes everything you need (except wine and glasses) and a free 12 minute instructional DVD. Great gift!
