Be kind to your heart, Drink wine
Looking for a new hobby, activity or even something to do on a long weekend? Well wine tasting is definitely a great activity for you. If you don’t like wine that is unfortunate for you but also should give you more of a reason to taste a sampler platter of different flavors and textures.
I recently took a trip to the Fingerlakes where I went on a wine tour. I found the whole experience to be absolutely surreal. Actually being in the place where wine you have bought at the store around the corner from your house, was actually made processed and bottled. Our group visited 5 different New York wineries which gave me a little bit of New York pride.
The first winery we went to was one I have never heard of but soon learned was one of the most praised vineyards. Dr. Konstantin Frank vinifera wine cellars have been around for three generations, and have won medals nationally and internationally for their wines. They have the largest selection of rootstock which has grown for thirty years in sub-zero temperatures. Dr. Frank received his PH.D. upon writing his thesis on the pioneering of growth for the vitis vinifera in the cold eastern climate. (Vitis Vinifera is a grape that is generally home to Europe).
They had told us that the European grape was allowed use by Dr. Frank when he developed a fertilizer that helped kill the bacteria that was eating away at all of Europe’s grapes. When he gave them the fertilizer they allowed him to use their grapes and graph them with some Americas own. Together they have helped to create many gold medal wines. You can even purchase these wines online at www.drfrankwines.com.
The best part of the whole trip was the fact that the towns surrounding these vineyards are so quaint and relaxing. You stay at bed and breakfasts where there are no locks on the doors and everyone leaves their keys in their ignitions. It was an excellent experience that I had the pleasure to enjoy and if you ever need more information on booking your own trip you can contact www.fingerlakeswinetours.com.
One of your better blog entries. Some good history and real-life information.
This sentence doesn’t make sense: “When he gave them the fertilizer they allowed him to use their grapes and graph them with some Americas own.”
Also, your story doesn’t explain the headline; heart health is not part of the story.

Being fearful does not necessarily make one safer. Fear can cause people to hide and cower. What do you think? How does that work in a democracy again? How does being more threatening make us more likeable?Isn’t the country with

If ever there was ever a time in our nation’s history that called for a change, this is it!
The more people that the government puts in jails, the safer we are told to think we are. The real terrorists are wherever they are, but they aren’t living in a country with bars on the windows. We are.
