Candace Cameron Bure likens husband to 'fine wine' on his birthday

June 13 (UPI) -- Candace Cameron Bure is celebrating her husband's 44th birthday.

The 42-year-old actress penned a sweet post to retired NHL star Valeri Bure on his birthday Thursday.

Bure shared a photo on Instagram of herself with the former Florida Panthers player. The picture was taken among the casks at a winery.

"Happy Birthday my love," Bure captioned the post, adding a heart eyes emoji. "Here's to aging like fine wine together."

Bure and Valeri married in June 1996 and are parents to three children, 19-year-old daughter Natasha, 18-year-old son Lev and 16-year-old son Maksim. The couple launched their own winery, Bure Family Wines, in 2006.

"We've always loved food and wine, especially Val; we're definitely foodies," Bure told ONTVtoday in September.

The Fuller House star and her family celebrated Lev's high school graduation last week. She posted a slideshow of photos from the event on Instagram, including a group picture with Valeri and their three children.

"Incredible evening celebrating @levvbure's high school graduation!" the star wrote. "Congratulations my baby, we are so proud of you, not only for graduating with honors, but for the young man you've become."

"Your character, integrity, heart and love for Jesus deserves an A+!!" she added. "Can't wait to see what God has in store for the next chapter of your journey."

Bure plays D.J. Tanner on Fuller House, a role she originated on the ABC series Full House. Fuller House airs on Netflix, and was renewed for a fourth season in January.
