A glass of wine per day, especially red wine, is said to be good for us. Here are some quotes about wine from some of history’s most famous thinkers, or should I say famous drinkers ? “Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.” – Benjamin Franklin “Good wine is a good familiar creature if it be well used.” – Shakespeare, Othello “Wine is the drink of the gods, milk the drink of babies, tea the drink of women, and water the drink of beasts.” – John Stuart Blackie “Wine is bottled poetry.” – Robert Louis Stevenson “Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine.” – St

So while I was in Positano on the Amalfi Coast of Italy doing a shoot for Taste TV , I headed to the bar at The Hotel Il Covo dei Saraceni where I was staying to meet Salvatore, the hotel’s bartender of the last eight years and reportedly one of the best barmen in Italy. I introduced myself and started to explain to him about Art of the Drink, when he stopped me and told me he watches the show and began recalling his favorite episodes! Needless to say, I was blown away and of course had to film an episode with him right there and then — so keep an eye out for a very special AOTD from Positano, courtesy of Salvatore!

Pardon me while I sound off about something that just bugs me, both as a health-centric person & as an athlete: Low-carb diets. Not only do I abhor diets, dieting, & all that these ideas stand for (short-cuts, laziness, short-lived results, unrealistic expectations, resultant unhealthy metabolisms, short-sightedness, etc.), but I think the currently ubiquitous “low-carb” trend is stupid. First of all, your body needs carbs

Hi All, I’m baaaaaack. Yes, it’s been far too long since my last blogging session here. If you keep in mind the fact that I’ve got 5 blogs & a full life in the real world, it seems quite insane & unreasonable to expect that anyone could have the kind of time to blog every day (or even every week!) for every single one of their blogs, respond to every email & comment, & still have a life (!) — that is, unless you make a living from blogging.
