Having a glass or two of wine occasionally is not only lovely for load of people, it is also believed by many to have a lot of health benefits. Although possibility not proven, drinking the odd glass of wine, and red wine in particular, is thought to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, provide a certain level of cancer protection and can also reduce the signs of aging.
Red Wine in Bunnell
While it is most definitely true that I do not drink daily, I do partake in a glass of Red wine from time to time, more often that not when I am spending a quiet meal with friends or family. The last time I headed out for dinner in Bunnell was at C & R Restaurant. From my experience it's a pretty cool place to eat dinner and drink a glass of Red wine. Not to mention, you may be able to also do a little bit of celebrity spotting there as I have heard that Hilary Duff once made an appearance there. I'm not sure that really happened though.
Speaking about renowned people, that reminds me of this famous quote:
Be wary of the man who urges an action in which he himself incurs no risk.
I do not have a clue who wrote that and I don't have any idea why I suddenly recalled that but we'll leave that for another day...
Back to the wine, if you are trying to have a nice drink of wine (or three) in Bunnell, try some Red wine, it's delicious.

A nice glass of wine every now and then is not only pleasant for some people, it is also documented to have fantastic health benefits. Although possibility not proven, consuming wine, and red wine in particular, is widely believed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, provide a certain level of cancer protection and could also significantly defer the signs of aging.
Chenin Blanc Wine in Curtis
While I do not drink wine on a somewhat regular basis, I do partake in a glass of Chenin Blanc wine every now and then, more often when I am having dinner with friends. My last time having dinner in Curtis was at Dave's Pizza - Skyline. I know that restaurant is a cool place to eat a meal and drink a glass of Chenin Blanc wine. Also, you might be able to also do some celebrity spotting there as someone mentioned to me that Cameron Diaz once had a meal there. I'm not sure if that's a true story though.
While I'm thinking about personalities, that reminds me of a famous quote:
To find a fault is easy to do better may be difficult.
I'm not sure who wrote or said that and I do not have any idea why I just now recalled that but we can leave that for another time...
Back on topic, if you are hoping to have a fantastic drink of wine (or two) in Curtis, try some Chenin Blanc wine, it's tasty.

There are so many different drinks available these days that it is confusing to know what to get. One of the best ways to discover which the best value for money wines are is to find reviews. At least that way you will have some knowledge of the kind of wine it is as well as the quality of the wine. Recommendations are really one of the best way of discovering delicious wines.
I would often drink cocktails and have a great Otter Pop recipe which I used to make up. Even the most detailed cocktails are actually easy to make. As an example, the Otter Pop recipe consists of only these ingredients:
1/2 oz Bacardi® white rum
1/2 oz Blue Curacao liqueur
1/4 oz sweet and sour mix
1/4 oz 7-Up® soda
Cocktails are a lot of fun to have at a party or at a hip bar but they sure are expensive! Even during discount times, you can often break your budget by drinking some cocktails. So now, more often than not I will stick to white wine or champagne. I have educated myself on the best organic wines available and believe that drinking wine over cocktails means I get a delicious drink which is most likely healthier and with fewer calories.
Whenever possible I prefer to order Australian organic wine or preservative free wine. I enjoy American wines but am glad to try anything. I have happily tried wines from Argentina before and they have been some of the best wines I have ever had. It is not necessarily a good idea to pick a wine based on the location where it is produced, you can be shocked at the quality of wines grown in countries not known for wine production.
There are many places where you can find wine reviews to enable you to make a reliable choice in wine. Whether you prefer red or sparkling wine, you can find many reviews online. I like to read wine social media sites because you can then get immediate opinions on the wine you are considering buying.
If you are thinking of trying organic wines then visit Treehugger for help on how buying organic produce is less damaging for the environment. Wikipedia also has some great articles on organic farms and organic food and wine.

Whenever possible I prefer to drink organic wines or preservative free wine. I adore French wines but am glad to try anything.
