  What kind of crazy stuff is this? Live longer by drinking wine? What about all the propaganda now that says wine is bad? Sober October? Dry January? A lot of bologna if you ask me. I am not a doctor, nor do I play one of TV so I’m going to be quoting Richard Baxter MD. Doctor Baxter wrote one of my favorite books called Wine & Health.      Senescense is described by Baxter as: “the progressive and inevitable deterioration in bodily functions that occurs over the lifespan of a living organism.” Scientists have now isolated the specific...

     Wine is going to split in two. Let me explain. Much like food you can go to a regular grocery store that caters to conventional goods: Tony the tiger corn flakes, Keebler elf cookies, Breyers Ice cream and the like.
