Any hardworking gal or guy knows that kicking back with a friend and a glass of red wine is a fabulous way to de-stress. The best part? Your red-wine habit also happens to come with some happy health benefits, such as protecting your ticker and even slimming your waistline. Check out these reasons why winding down with a glass of vino is a good call all around.

·          Red grapes--which are used to make certain red wines--may actually have a significant effect on cholesterol levels

·          On top of lowering bad cholesterol, polyphenols--the antioxidants in red wine--can help keep blood vessels flexible and reduce the risk of unwanted clotting

·          The skin of red grapes--a rich source of red wine's natural compound resveratrol--may actually help diabetics regulate their blood sugar, finds recent research published in the journal Nutrition

·          Resveratrol may also be the key to keeping your memory sharp

·          If you hate getting sick (and who doesn't?), the antioxidants in red wine may help keep you healthy

·          According to researchers at the University of Virginia, the resveratrol you get from drinking one glass of red wine three or four times a week may be enough to starve any nascent cancer cells

·          Clearly, resveratrol is a bit of a limelight hog when it comes to the healthful compounds in vino

Holman Ranch Vineyard and Winery Background:

Located at the north eastern tip of the Carmel Valley Appellation, the family-owned Holman Ranch resides approximately 12 miles inland from the Pacific Coast. Immersed in history and romance, the ranch has not only proven to be an excellent growing location for our vineyards but also for the Tuscan varietal olive trees which have flourished under the temperate climate.

Holman Ranch estate-grown wine varietals are planted on approximately 19 acres of undulating terrain. The wines produced are unfined and crafted to deliver the true varietal of the grape from harvest to bottle. The climate and terroir of the appellation has played a critical part in the success of their wines. The warmth of the inland valley coupled with the cooling marine layer has proven to be an ideal microclimate for the production of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. The vineyards' Burgundy Clones have thrived from the perfect blend of ideal climate, southern exposure and thin rocky soils.

The estate wines of Holman Ranch include: Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Rosé of Pinot Noir. Carefully hand-harvested, cold pressed and bottled, the Extra Virgin Olive Oil produced from the fruits of our trees has a delightfully distinctive flavor.
