As we turn the proverbial calendar page from February to March - Women's History Month - join us in raising a glass to the trailblazing women in a historically male-dominated industry. From the "Grande Dame of Champagne", Barbe-Nicole Clicquotmaking history in the early 19th Century, to Hannah Weinberger, the first female winemaker in California in the 1880s, to Madeline Triffon, the first female American Master Sommelier in 1987; a wide array of women are now making an impact in vineyard management to cellar operations and everything in between. We hope you will take advantage of our upcoming wine tastings and wine of the week offerings this month as we shine a well-deserved spotlight on some terrific offerings from amazing women!
Blue Zones
Generally, the Blue Zones are areas with the highest life expectancy and researchers have identified 9 lifestyle habits for the world's healthiest people.
Moving Naturally
Knowing Your Purpose
Downshifting From Stress
80/20 Rule (stop eating when the stomach is 80% full)
Plant Slant (meat eaten on average 5 times a month)
Community Connections that support healthy behaviors
Family and Loved Ones First
Belonging to a Faith-Based Community
Wine Moderately and Regularly
There is a lot to this list that you might want to dive more deeply into, but we are here to help when it comes to the wine and community pieces! Not surprisingly, the wine (typically red) consumed in Blue Zones is not mass-produced for grocery store sales but rather, is organic and naturally high in polyphenols and antioxidants.
