I'm not sure about you, but December was such a wonderful month full with parties and festivities and a gorging of desserts, snacks, cheese, mamosas and oh so much delicious wine. Devouring everything in site during the holidays means it is back to the basics in January. Here at the winery, we are all dedicating ourselves to eating better, going to the gym and even contemplating the wine we enjoy!
However... I must admit it is difficult to cut out (or down) on that glass or two of wine, especially when we work in this spectacular location overlooking the vineyards. The talk about wine and getting healthy started a discussion about "Is Wine Healthy for You?". There are so many studies out there that talk about the affects of wine and alcohol and how it is bad for you. But after some digging on google, we decided to side with the experts that a glass of wine a day has great benefits for your body like protecting your heart and lowering cholestrol and also for your mind - you just need to be conscious of that glass and truly enjoy it. The average 4oz glass of wine has about 100 calories, which even while on a diet, a glass a great BC wine can be included! So watch out January - I am hitting the gym, eating my veggies and also having a well deserved glass of Prospect wine along the way. Let me know how your dieting and lifestyle choices are going and I will keep you updated as well. A well-deserved December, leads to a basic January (plus that enjoyable glass or two of wine!)
