Love & Wine: How's this for a Wine Country Valentine tale?

Twenty-two years ago Kathleen McGowan was working her first day in the tasting room of the Silverado Trail's former Napa Creek Winery when in walked Simon Inman, a young attorney from England. They chatted and Kathleen mentioned to him that one day she would study in London.

Three weeks later, a letter from Simon arrived at the winery addressed to Pretty Blond Assistant. Simon wrote that he hoped he might see her if and when she came to the UK.

Two years later, Kathleen and Simon married and started a family and two fine careers in Yorkshire. A shared passion for wine drew them several years ago to Sonoma County, where they planted a vineyard near the Russian River and opened Inman Family Wines.

Kathleen decided that for their 20th anniversary she'd set aside some pinot noir grapes and make a special rosé. Just days ago she and Simon learned their proposed label was approved.

The wine will be called Endless Crush.
