Reagan Presidential Library Wine Pouring

Four Sisters Ranch Wines served at the Reagan Presidential Library
We were honored to be selected for the California Wine and Gourmet Food Experience event held October 29, 2009 at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley. The Four Sisters Ranch Syrah was paired with "roasted duck breast served with Japanese PUmpkin". This event had a unique progression of sumptious dinner small plates and magnificent deserts with 10 California wines. This month, December, again our wine was served with a holiday party at the Reagan Library and our Cabernet Sauvignon was enjoyed by all.

Health Notes:
Did you know the longest living man and women on record as of 2004 each drank one glass of red wine daily and the woman ate 2 lbs of chocolate each week!!
Did you know that you can reduce your risk of a heart attack and stroke by drinking red wine along with the POLYMEAL DIET? Here's how to decrease by 76% your cardiovascular risk:

• Red wine: 4-5 ounces each day (Women: remember to supplement your folic acid found in a multivitamin with minerals when consuming wine.)
• Dark Chocolate: 3.5 oz. each day
• cold water fish oils/omega 3 fatty acids such as is found in tuna, salmon, mackeral or in mercury free fish oil capsules
• almonds: 2.5 oz. each day
• garlic: one clove daily or "no odor garlic pills"
• fresh fruits and vegetables/high fiber foods, 400 grams each day, such as 2 and 2/3 apples or high fiber oatmeal or oat bran

Also, consider exercise, proven to slightly lower cholesteral.

Eating these foods and drinking the wine could be expected to prolong life by as much as 7 years in men and nearly 5 years in women by reducing cardiovascular events. (Source: Journal, BMJ 2004;329:1447-50) ............................Serena Friedman, M.D. and grape grower/wine producer
