Working Out with Wine and Chocolate

Is it true that working out with wine and chocolate does a body good or is it another trend? You be the judge.

Wine and chocolate go hand in hand. Savoring, sipping and ingesting the pair are virtually a workout within itself. One hand must delicately grasp the wine glass, while the other hand docilely balances the chocolate between the index and thumb.

Wine and Chocolate Lift-Savors

• Lift, 1-2-3


• Hold


• Nibble


• Sip, savor and swish around the palette


• Allow to linger on the tongue for a count of 7-10 seconds


• And repeat (3-sets with 4-5 repetitions)

At the same token, these actions should be made in slow deliberate movements. The concept entails allowing each morsel of chocolate (Godiva, Lindt or whatever you prefer) to slowly dissolve on the tongue so that when the fusion of wine and chocolate come head-to-head, the culmination induces sheer ecstasy for the palette.

Verisimilar to yoga where each movement is held for moments, the art of this regimen requires focus, stamina and the willpower to enable the wine to co-mingle with the chocolate.

Although this fitness program has not been endorsed by the American Medical Association, the National Health Council nor the World Health Organization, there seems to be a myriad of benefits to exercising with wine and chocolate. Let's explore the health benefits:

Beaune 1er Cru - Hospices de Beaune - Cuvee Rousseau Deslandes


We purchased this dry red wine at the Hospices de Beaune auction that was held November 17th, 2002, and we have been eagerly anticipating its arrival! Ripe red fruit (strawberry & raspberry) dominate the nose of this 1er Cru, along with notes of violet, licorice and a hint of toasted bread. It is clean and fresh, well-structured and well-balanced, with soft, ripe tannins. The finish is round and elegant and vanilla is persistent throughout the palate. This will pair well with dishes of either red or white meat, grilled, roasted or marinated, as well as more sophisticated dishes such as veal cooked with tarragon or turkey dishes. The Cuvee Rousseau-Deslandes is really the quintessential French Pinot Noir from Burgundy. BHB02 BHB02
