Wine for Cold & Flu?

I have a cold right now... I almost made it through the Winter unscathed! The unfortunate thing about being sick is, it's really hard to enjoy wine, or really anything, as I'm all stuffed up! So it got me thinking, what about wine to cure what ails you? I haven't purchased this book yet, but I'm seriously thinking about it. From the preview you can cook it up in your own kitchen. Cheers!

Making Children Into Wine Lovers

No, I'm not advocating putting wine into juice boxes, settle down! ;-)

Wine like food is enjoyed through flavors. Our enjoyment of food in its many shapes, forms, likes and dislikes are formed during childhood. If you have a child like me, then you know they can be quite unexperimental when it comes to new food. Currently if it's not pasta or hot dogs with ketchup, we have to beg and bribe my daughter to experiment. It's this very experimentation and variety that will make those extra cerebral connections that will ulitmately be used in the enjoyment of wine. Is my primary focus making my daughter a future oenophile, no, but variety is the spice of life. So eat your brussel sprouts kids!! For the record, that's not my kid, but I bet those parents agree with me!
