Lazy Friday Morning…

by Farley on April 25th, 2008

Though not in the mood to write this morning, I have been catching up on some reading.

A subscriber to several newsletters, I have to admit I don’t always get to each one. But I did get around to reading Nat Decants, and I really enjoyed “Bottled Blunders,” her light-hearted tales of wine mishaps. If you didn’t get to read it, you can also hear it as a podcast.

Speaking of women and wine, someone at work forwarded this to me. Apparently, certain Swedish studies lead us to believe women who drink wine are less likely to suffer from dementia. Woo-hoo! That’s good news indeed. Obviously, this study is just one look at the issue, but for someone who has a history of Alzheimer’s in the family, it gives me hope that wine can help in a variety of health matters. *The study did show, however, that spirits made the likelihood of dementia more likely, even with wine consumption. Good thing I’ve cut way back on my martini drinking.

I’ve also been plowing through Noble Rot: A Bordeaux Wine Revolution by William Echikson for Wine Book Club #2, hosted by Tim of Winecast. We’re set to post our reviews on April 29. The story and writing are both very engaging, and I’m over halfway done.

Cheers and happy reading to all.
