This rubbed us the right way

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

We’ve always said there is nothing more relaxing than a nice glass of wine … except maybe a great massage. That’s why we’re looking forward to National Massage Therapy Week, Oct. 25-31. It’s a chance for us to offer some bottled relaxation to the pros who keep us happy and healthy all year long.

Okay, we know what you’re thinking — and all we can say is, stop that right now. We’re talking about legit massage here, and we are true believers. If you’ve never tried it, you’re missing out on a key aspect of any holistic health regimen.

If you’re intrigued, check out the American Massage Therapy Association for a directory of certified therapists in your area. And if you’re a regular, be sure to show your therapist some love next week. Schedule an appointment and surprise him or her with a bottle of wine. We’ll bet they keep you on the table a little longer than usual!

The next time you’re in Miami, check out our therapist, James Castillo. He’ll be the best part of your vacation.

Got a therapist you’d like to recommend? Give them a shout-out in our Comments section below. Or better yet, post their website so others can find them, too. We’ll pick three therapists, at random, from those submitted below and mail them a free prost!card in your name. As for the bottle of wine, that’s up to you!

Here’s to the lunch lady

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

Okay, all you oenophiles, we know you can recommend the perfect pairing for line-caught Chilean sea bass vs. the farm-raised variety. Big deal. In honor of National School Lunch Week, Oct. 12-16, we’ve dreamed up a much tougher test.

John F. Kennedy proclaimed the first School Lunch Week back in 1963, and it’s been observed in mid-October ever since. The School Nutrition Association (SNA) is the major cheerleader behind this annual observance, though we suspect financial backing is provided by the hair net industry, which is pretty much wholly dependent on lunch ladies all across America.

Naturally, SNA recommends milk for lunch every day, and since we’re lactose intolerant, that got us thinking: If the recession sent us back to school for some major job re-training, what on earth would we drink? Please take a moment to enter your suggested wine pairings in the “Comments” section below, and we’ll refer any disagreements to our favorite sommelier. Thanks for your input. And as always, Prost!
