National Drink Wine Day

Happy National Drink Wine Day!  Yes, you read that correct my friends.  February 18th is recognized as a day to celebrate the wonderful role it has played throughout history and in our daily lives.  Wine promotes many health benefits - including the reduced risk of heart disease.  It enhances food, encourages the development of new friendships, and rekindles (or encourages!) romance.

What day is better than today to visit your favorite local winery and show your appreciation to the vintner?  Grab a glass or, better yet, a bottle of your fave whether it be a sweet white, dessert wine, honey mead, or a dry red.  Cheers!

Take a moment to visit the National Drink Wine Day website found at www.nationaldrinkwineday.org.  You can also find them on Facebook and Twitter @drinkwineday.    

According to the Wine Institute Americans, in 2013, consumed 892 million gallons of wine.
