We're So
Excited!!
It's wine-travel season
and we have been making plans to visit some wonderful areas this year
We
are so anxious to get on the road again...and our first trip is only a few
weeks away. We've been very busy making travel plans for the coming
months. Gary even purchased a new car that will offer us a smoother ride
than the Mustang we have been traveling in. We are also expanding
our traveling area in 2008. Here's a little of what's in-store: Later this
month we'll be traveling to the Cambridge, OH area...Indianapolis in
April...we're expanding our area and visiting North Carolina in May,
Virginia in June (this is the first time we'll be taking to the friendly
skies since it's a 10-hour drive to the coast)... an extended trip to
Ontario in July (Gary hopes to get me on a bicycle to tour the wineries
there - good luck)...and much, much more to come. We'll keep you posted in
upcoming newsletters.

7 Tips To Get Rid
Of A Wine Hangover
by: Jack Wells
How about teaming up
your favorite meal with the best of wine this weekend? It sounds a great
idea but don't you think you may overindulge? Well, you may not mind
this but what about the hangover you have to face, the other morning. How
about spending you entire Sunday afternoon sitting inside the bathroom,
with one hand on your forehead and the other on your stomach? Scary
isn't it?
Hey, hold on! I am not trying to scare the life out of
you. I am just showing you the real picture of a hangover that you may
require to face the following day after you have overindulged in your
favorite wine.
This sounds really bad but don't worry, there are
many tips you can follow in order to get rid of a wine hangover. All you
need to do is to follow the instructions given below:
a) Water, water and water:
Water is the key to get over the wine hangover. Drink
plenty of water. Alcohol has a tendency to dehydrate your body. This is
the main reason that most people end up having a lot of liquids in the
form of plain water, lemon water, coffee and black tea without having to
pee for a single time. If you want to stay away from the temptation of
overindulging in wine, the best way is to have a glass of water for each
glass of wine you desire to have. Wine is a great source of water, but the
presence of water tends to produce adverse effects on the body. Hence, it
is necessary to keep hydrating your body with water.
b) Binge in:
Sounds great! Believe me, it really works. Eat your
favorite meal or some snacks an hour before a drink. This will save you
from getting involved into overindulge and the hangover. The meal or snack
should include bread or pasta.
c) No prescription drugs:
So you want to save money! It's a good idea but you
should not save money via mixing your glass of wine with prescription
drugs for more effects. This will only damage your body. Drink less if you
really want to save money.
d) Milk:
Drink a glass of milk prior to consuming wine. This
will provide a protection coat to your stomach and helps you absorb the
alcohol in the wine.
e) No salt:
Salt will prove dangerous as it tends to maximize the
process of dehydration. You should stay away from salt.
f) An aspirin:
An aspirin will help you to remove headache. Avoid
taking ibuprofen or paracetamol. These medicines usually have adverse
effects on the body especially after the consumption of wine.
g) Avoid dark drinks:
The major hangover you experience may be due to
combining red wine with whiskey. You should mix whiskey with soda or
water. Avoid mixing it with cola and tonic.
Hangover is due to over indulgence. Follow the instructions mentioned above and you should feel
better after a wine party with your friends.
