Attention wine drinkers!

Hello Everyone!

I love wine. I confess that I drink one glass per day, at the end of a long work day, to relax. (also knowing that I got my Cathe workout in early in the AM!)

My best friend who bartends in CA told me that a "pinot noir" is the healthiest red wine out there. Hey, if I am going to have some wine, I might as well make sure that it is super healthy for me!

Does anyone else know anything about this information?

Thank you, and enjoy your wine!

No clue about the Pinot Noir, I just heard that red wine is better than white wine from a health point of view.

I heard that wine in fact is healthy if we drink no more than one glass, but that seems to be a problem for a lot of people, they don't stick with the one glass rule, or, the size of their glass increases to 32 oz (I am not saying or implying that's what you do!!!!)

Enjoy your wine, have one for me too. I have to get up early tomorrow.

I agree with you - 1 glass a day is good and it is enough.

I am very disciplined in that way, trust me.

Also - I get up early to workout with Cathe! I have to get some beauty sleep!

I love wine, but I don't like reds that much. Not sure about the accuracy of your info, but go for it!

I love Pinot Noir!!! It's my absolute favorite red!

Your friend is right; Pinot Noir is supposed to be the most "heart-healthy" red. Dr. Oz just spoke about this on Oprah. I only drink wine on the weekends and limit myself to the recommended: 1, 5 ounce glass of red wine per day.

Try Cabernet Franc, too. It's higher in resveratrol (the stuff that's good for your heart) and it's not as heavy as a cab. sauvignon.

Hey there - I love wine too, unfortunately! I prefer the white wines - Rieslings from upstate NY. I also like pinot noir and think it's probably a good healthy choice.

I figure drink what you like, and like the other girl said, just watch the size of the glass. I have two sizes of wine glasses and I have switched to the smaller one and have one of those 2-3 nights per week. (The larger ones are for the weekends:9 ). I find the small glass is just fine - helps you relax and have a little treat.
And, yes I get my Cathe workouts in starting at 6 a.m.

A previous post about wine was also talking about the calories that add up in alcohol. And yes, I work out tooooooooooo hard and tooooooooo early to throw it all away!

Good luck, enjoy and work out harder!!!!
