Give up Wine???

With Mardi Gras behind us and the looming question of what to give up for lent, let us remind those of you inclined to give up alcohol, that "2 glasses of wine a day, keeps the doctor away", or so the saying goes! We suggest not cutting wine out, but simply cutting back on your consumption for the lent season. We would like to remind you of the heart healthy benefits of wine. When consumed with food, wine actually aids in digestion. Furthermore, when cooking with wine, you can make meat more supple , taking in the antioxidants without the alcohol. Cooking with white wine can kill salmonella and is great in sauces! As a reminder, when cooking with wine, never use a wine you yourself would not drink! -Cheers from the Vivác Winery Family!
