Old Soul Old Vine Zinfandel Lodi, California Retail $19.99 |
| The term “Old Soul” is often used to describe someone who is wise beyond their year. The Old Soul Zinfandel benefits from old vines, between 50 and 100 years of age, which impart flavor and character that have been patiently crafted year after year with each successive harvest. The Old Soul Zinfandel grapes were carefully harvested and fermented in stainless steel after extended maceration to extract a dense generosity of fruit. The wine was then aged in American oak casks for 9 months. This Zinfandel is intense and just plain delicious! Drink on it is own, or if you are feeling adventures over the holidays, perhaps try turning it into a Holiday Mulled Wine! |

Anna De Codorniu Cava Rose Spain Retail $15.99 |
| Cava doesn’t get enough respect in American wine circles. Because we have seen so many grocery store cavas, we may wrongly assume that all cava tastes the same. This could not be further from the truth! Some cava is complex, much of it is very dry (unlike the grocery store varieties) and lots of it is delicious! The Anna de Cordoniu bottling is a perfect example. Pink-red in color, rich, dry, complex and utterly capable of handling foods like turkey or ham. Which makes this Cava a perfect Thanksgiving Wine. Perhaps serve with dinner or even as an apéritifs with some Fried Camembert Cheese! |

| Fried Camembert Cheese with Cranberry-Raspberry Coulis |
 |
Ingredients:
|
|
Directions: Remove camembert from packaging and place in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Combine whole wheat flour, breadcrumbs and cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl, mix well. Remove cheese from freezer; dip each piece in beaten egg and dredge in dry mix. Be sure cheese is completely coated with dry mix (repeat egg dip and dredge if necessary) and return to freezer for another 10 minutes. Place oil in large pot on stove and heat to 350 degrees. Fry each cheese round for about 1 minute or so until golden brown. Remove from oil carefully using slotted spoon and drain on absorbent paper towels. Serve immediately with Cranberry-Raspberry Coulis. |
| Cranberry-Raspberry Coulis Directions: |
|
Ingredients:
Place all ingredients in a non-reactive (glass or nonstick) saucepan and simmer on low to medium heat for about 20 minutes, until cranberries have burst and are tender. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. |

You may ask yourself, why do I need massage therapy? Regularly scheduled massage helps with relaxation, reduces stress, blood pressure and painful muscles. It should be a part of your overall health and wellness program. Massage Heights Retreat Director, Leo Marcotte, first took an interest in massage therapy and it’s amazing power, with his mother who lost her fight against bladder cancer in 2007. Prior to her death, the pain medication was not working anymore. As a last resort, the doctor suggested giving massage therapy a try because many times the body’s response to touch is to release natural pain killing endorphins. Leo says, ” In total disbelief, I agreed to give it a try. After the first two weekly massages the pain subsided enough so that the pain medications were reduced! Seeing first hand the results of regular massage made me want to help others in our community with the benefit from a high quality massage.” |

Massage Heights of Flower Mound opened in the spring of 2009. Their goal is to make massage affordable, while maintaining the high level of personalized service you’d expect at a 5-star resort. They want everyone to be able to afford the healing powers of massage. Each massage is customized to your specific needs and is performed by a licensed massage therapist who has completed at least 500 hours of intensive training. Peace and total relaxation is the goal for your massage. The massage room is dimly lit, while soft, relaxing music plays overhead. You also have an option of adding aromatherapy to your escape. |
| While massage may seem like an alternative medicine, it is actually embraced by the Mayo Clinic and other western medical practitioners. It eliminates toxins, improves circulation, and improves lymphatic system performance. At a time where there’s a pill for almost every ailment, its good to know that massage is a time-tested, all-natural, drug-free alternative that can help you feel great! At Massage Heights, they want to help you relax, rejuvenate and live life to its fullest! |  |
