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. 

Where we're headed:
 

On The Road Again in March!
March 29, 2008 we will be visiting the following wineries:
 
Al-Bi Winery - Dellroy, OH
Raven's Glenn Winery - West Lafayette, OH
Terra Cotta Vineyards - New Concord, OH 
 
Upcoming Adventures:
Late April: Two Indianapolis area wineries and a visit to one of the city's wine bars

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.
