When used in moderation, red wine has been linked with reducing the chance of heart disease.  Red wine contains antioxidants and a mystery ingredient, resvertrol.  This ingredient is also found in peanuts, blueberries, and cranberries.

In a recent trip to Spain we found ourselves in a wine tasting... look, smell, taste, repeat.  I don’t know if it was the beautiful story or the spicy, light taste of the wine that made us fall in love with Condesa de Laganza wines.  

Wine.com describes the wine as complex, voluptuous, and soft.  Who wouldn’t want to try that!?!

These selections pair well with lamb, grilled meats and hearty vegetarian fare (as we have already found!)

Spanish wine has a distinctive taste.  Much different than the French and Italian wines.  Try a glass to keep your heart healthy and your body happy!

Not a wine drinker? Did you know that blueberries have many of the same heart-healthy properties as red wine?
