Fountain of Youth?

Check out the article from 60 Minutes regarding Red Wine: Fountain of Youth in a Wine RX?

Welcome to the National Red Wine and Dark Chocolate Week Blog

Why did I start National Red Wine and Dark Chocolate Week? In February 2006, with the approach of Valentine's Day I got very annoyed. Why should people who are dating or married have free range to consume chocolate? I'm single but I enjoy chocolate. Then I started thinking about other holidays like Easter, which also feature chocolate. Then it hit me, why don't we just cut to the chase? If people want to eat large amounts of chocolate we should just do it! On February 22nd I took a trip into San Francisco with some friends where we had good food and yummy chocolate.

We had chocolate and it was GOOD.

I talked about my idea with other friends and in June a combination birthday party, Red Wine and Dark Chocolate extravaganza was enjoyed. Everyone seemed to really like the idea of getting together and tasting red wine and eating dark chocolate.

From this humble beginning this holiday was born.

I will be posting various articles and links regarding the health benefits of red wine and dark chocolate.

No, I'm not suggesting that it's okay to binge on red wine and dark chocolate. Don't be stupid. I do think people should get together with friends and loved ones and enjoy themselves.
