I thought I would offer you more suggestions for wine and food pairings for Valentine’s Day.  I picked two wines from the four wines I received from Baillie-Grohman Estate Winery in Creston to cook with salmon with shrimp stuffed pinwheels that I purchased from Fisherman’s Market in the Burnaby Heights area.  The Baillie-Grohman wines are available at BC Liquor Stores….
