TICKET PRICE:

DESCRIPTION:
Longevity expert Dan Buettner has traveled to five areas around the world that have large concentrations of centenarians, or people over 100 years old. He originally wrote about them in National Geographic 20 years ago and recently had a show on Netflix called “Live to 100: Secrets from the Blue Zones” (We recommend the show as a backgrounder for this session). Wine, specifically red wine, is considered a key part of these “secrets.” In our session, we will discuss the health benefits of wine (as well as recent pushback) while tasting a Cannonau from Sardinia, which Buettner favors. Additionally, we will taste a compelling white and a biodynamic red wine. Join us for this substantive tasting and discussion!
