October Events Wrap-Up

(Pictures will expand)

Maui Winery		Wine Over Water		Frogtown & Wolf Mtn. Wineries
Sparkling Pineapple wine? Yep. Last month we visited the only winery on the island of Maui--7,000 feet above sea level. Incredible grounds and stunning views. The wines? Well, just call me before you buy any.		October 4th we hit Chattanooga's 9th Annual Wine Over Water on the Historic Walnut Street Bridge. The world's longest pedestrian bridge hosted 5 live stage acts, 200 plus wines, and food from a dozen restaurants. Drink, dine & dance your way to the other side of the bridge!		Our Tour of the North GA Wine Country was really fun. Good wines, good food, and good company made this informative tour memorable for many first-timers to our own wine country.

  Contrary to earlier studies, a new one suggests drinking a glass or two of red wine a day does not protect you from a heart attack.

  Red wine, long thought to be good for your heart, may also be good for your lungs, says a report soon to be published in the international medical journal Thorax. The research said a compound found naturally in red wine could help fight chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
