The Heart of Wine Drinking

Wednesday, August 9. 2006

Have you ever noticed that we are more likely to drink wine with friends, and maybe a beer when we're alone?

Well, it could be that wine's contribution to our heart health is because we share wine with friends... In the new medicine of bodymind health scientists are discovering the common sense of people everywhere, that being with supportive people, sharing some of life gives us a merry heart, and perhaps helps keep the cholesterol down.

Next time you toast, toasting friendship and the grape, Salud!

This is a "Heartful" wine - Quintessa 2001 - a Bordeaux Blend from Napa valley. It was the first heart within wine I had ever seen through the microscope. Quintessa adds heart to their wines since they grow their vineyards biodynamically, adding spirit to the spirits. Quintessa wines

Did you really capture that image of Quintessa wine under a microscope. It is beautiful. At Quintessa we do really pour our heart and soul into the wine...we've just never seen the fruits of our labor portrayed in such a visual way! Thank you for sharing this image.

Tracey, indeed I captured the 'Heart of your wine' with a microscope and it was a delightful surprise. There's another view of it at http://www.sondrabarrett.com/gallery.html. I love your wines.
