Wine and therapy
Wine therapy can be defined as a series of refinement strategies that employ red wine and must. Must is the repeatedly crushed fruit juice that consists of the skins, seeds, and fruit stems. The substantial part of the must is called pomace and generally produces up 7–23% of the must's absolute substance, making it the initial step in the winemaking process (A History of Wine as Therapy, 1964). A beauty treatment born in France to obtain the most from the antioxidant, toning, and detoxifying properties of grapes promptly escalated to the rest of the world, notably in Italian wine lands (A History of Wine as Therapy, 1964).

Religion and Wine:
As one of the original alcoholic drinks of contemporary human civilization, wine has imparted itself into practically every significant religion of the world. Since the birth of time, the doctrines of Europe and the Middle East gradually embodied this “nectar of the gods“ into their observances, declaring its fame and continuity throughout generations and millennia of individual growth. During great courses of time, the recipe of wine was secured as a mystery of religious faiths and influential established families of Sumerian and Egyptian authorities (Fuller, 1996). When wine eventually reached Ancient Greece and Rome, it created an original set of gods and rites focused on this compelling alcoholic drink (Fuller, 1996). As those ancient civilizations collapsed, wine worked to withstand the dark and middle ages under the preservation of Jews and Christians, instructed by various wine displays in the Bible (Fuller, 1996).

Hobbit Food Feasting
“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.” - The Hobbit My favorite part of the Holidays is the feasting and merriment. Spending hours with friends and family over shared bottles of wine and tables full of decadent food. Growing up, my family always did a traditional Christmas meal with turkey, casseroles, and pies. However, in the last few years, we've started something new that I think will stick for many years to come. On Christmas Eve I create massive charcuterie boards and we pop open several of our favorite wines from our favorite label: Lazarre.

Surviving the Holiday Season with Sangria and Snacks
The holidays are here! That means overeating, gift-giving, and family quality time. With family comes different personalities and this may bring some awkward moments. What do you do when your aunt asks you why you are thirty and still single? Who will stop your grandfather from talking about politics? Family is great, but they come with some baggage, so what do you do? It is simple, pour yourself some sangria and grab a snack. This is the perfect combination for surviving the holiday season.

A Holiday Treasure: Wine and Friends
Wine involves, better than any other refreshment, the competence to permeate its consumer with desire by the senses of sight, aroma, savor, and caress like no other alcohol. This is accomplished from the moment you notice it poured in the decanter or glass, through the moment its aromas stimulate your breath. At the same time, it caresses or flits across your tongue, until easily after the moment you sip it, with its lingering flavor.

Leave the Bottle
If you're anything like me, there's rarely a time when you open a nice bottle of red and don't finish it. Before your first impression of me is that I'm an alcoholic, let me clarify this by saying, I usually share with someone. Let me also take a minute to say, more power to you if you finish a bottle on your own. However, I'm getting old and hangovers last multiple days so it's a shared bottle for me. Now that that's cleared up, let's get back to talking about wine.

The Classic Wine Drinker
The Classic Wine Drinker As a young rebellious teenager, I drank a lot because it was fun to let loose and have a good time. A good time meant I was going to hurl at a random house or on the sidewalk. Parties were just about hardcore liquor and BYOB'S (bring your own booze). I had an interesting phase back in high school and as I got older anytime I could sense the smell of vodka, it made me gag. Unfortunately, it still makes me uncomfortable to my stomach, so I stay away from it as much as possible.

Pairing Perfection
Hooray for the holidays! When the weather becomes chilly outside, cozying up to the fireplace with a pair of leggings, oversized sweater and some deliciousness to fill your tummy, is beyond satisfying. Although, I’m a summer lover at heart, winter time does have its perks.

Choose the perfect match
It is from the twentieth century, the period of the Belle Epoque, that champagne has become synonymous with opulence, refinement and obviously celebration. But what is the difference between champagne and sparkling wine? In fact the only thing that differentiates them is their territorial origin: the champagne from the homonymous French region, north east of Paris, while the sparkling wine is a purely Italian wine produced in the Lombardy area and in some parts of Veneto and Trentino.
