2017 Rosé of Merlot
WELCOME NEW
The 2017 Château Cal-a-Vie Rosé of Merlot is specifically selected from one of the cooler situated blocks of Merlot, which allows us to produce wine with great natural acidity while obtaining aromatic ripeness. This dry Rosé shows a bouquet of papaya, citrus, melon and a hint of lavender. Its crispness lends itself well to pairings with ceviche, seafood, and fresh salads, but is also good by itself. Serve chilled 45F to 50F.
La Société de L’Orangerie Members La Societe De L’Orangerie is an honorary program to recognize and thank our guests for their loyal support and continued patronage.

NUTRITION Y O U R H E A LT H A N D W E L L N E S S
Beauty from the Inside Out! When we think about beauty and aging gracefully, we often go for hydrating creams and wrinkle-fighting facials to maintain radiant skin. While these treatments are an essential part of your beauty tool-box, we can’t forget about good nutrition. The cells and structural components of healthy skin are composed of protein, fat, and a wide array of vitamins from our food. So, there is truth in the phrase, “you are what you eat,� and your nutrition should be the first line of defense in anti-aging. The following are key nutrition strategies our dietitians recommend for healthy skin from the inside out. 1. Build a strong foundation. Collagen provides the matrix that gives our tendons, cartilage, and skin strength, firmness, and elasticity. To synthesize the helix structure of collagen, we need the amino acids hydroxyproline, glycine, and proline, along with vitamin C. Bone broth is a rich source of the amino acids that can build collagen. Collagen peptide powders can be added to smoothies and drinks to supplement collagen amino acids. Cal-a-Vie Health Spa dietitians recommend using a highly-digestible Whole Body Collagen containing a broad spectrum of collagen peptides to support bone density, skin elasticity, and joint cartilage production. 2. Stimulate blood flow. Optimal blood flow through capillaries is essential to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the cells. Proper hydration and regular exercise are foundational for good blood volume and circulation. Eating vegetables high in nitrates such as beets, arugula, spinach, lettuce and cabbage help the body make more nitric oxide which is crucial for vasodilation. Lastly, keeping blood pressure in optimal range is also essential, too high and too low will cause you to age faster. 3. Protect with polyphenols. Polyphenols are found in colorful plant-based foods and protect cells and collagen from damage. A few of the polyphenols that have been well researched for anti-aging properties are the resveratrol found in the skin of grapes, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) found in matcha and green tea, curcumin in the spice turmeric, and cocoa found in dark chocolate. While aging is inevitable, it can be done gracefully. Follow these strategies for beauty from the inside out!

BODY & BEAUTY SPRING BEAUTY TIP Everything around us is a potential toxin storehouse, the air we breathe, the food we consume, and everyday products, all of which can make our body toxic faster. On average, a person gets exposed to more than 200 different chemicals a day. There is a more natural way to avoid toxins from harming our bodies, and to help clean your toxins, when you stay at Cal-a-Vie Health Spa, you can receive a 50 minute Ionic Foot Detox treatment to feel cleansed and refreshed.

HEALTH & FITNESS MAKE YOUR WORKOUT MORE EFFECTIVE BY FOLLOWING SOME OF THE LATEST TIPS FOR BURNING CALORIES!
Fitness If losing pounds is as easy as journaling about what you eat, can you use the same technique to help you stick to a fitness routine? Dieters who kept a food diary lost twice as much weight as those who kept no records, according to a recent study by Kaiser Permanente’s Center for Health Research. However, while keeping a journal holds you more accountable for how you treat your body, sticking to a fitness routine is different from sustaining a healthy eating routine. We recommend these tactics to keep you motivated and inspired to work out.
Set a Goal Setting and pursuing goals is a great way to improve your health and well-being. The goal doesn’t have to be an organized race. Maybe it’s a mission to fit into that bikini by the annual beach vacation or that old pair of jeans buried in your closet. Whatever it is, define it, write it down and revisit it daily. Make sure it’s realistic, and you can adapt your life around meeting the goal.
Schedule a Regular Workout Time Some of the most committed exercisers do it every day before the sun comes up or late at night when the kids are in bed. Sit down with your weekly schedule and try to build in 30-60 minutes each day to be good to your body. Write your workout on your calendar, set up daycare, and rearrange things around this time as if it were any other important appointment you have to keep. Alternatively, use technology like daily e-mail reminders, workout journaling websites, or apps to keep you on task.
Think Fun and Variety By nature, humans need change and variety to stay motivated. We also need to have FUN — even while we’re working hard. Do both! Whether it’s a toning and sculpting class that changes choreography every week or a trail run that changes scenery every season, design your exercise routine around a variety of exercise methods. Make sure you include activities you genuinely enjoy and look forward to doing — like dancing, hula hooping, or playing sports with family and friends. Workout variety also challenges your body in unique ways which may introduce you to new muscle groups you didn’t even know you had. Consider disciplines that give you more bang for your buck. Tai Chi and yoga, for example, serve dual purposes as mental therapy and physical activity. Alternatively, try a workout DVD to help you shake up your routine.
CUISINE NEWS AND RECIPE
SPICED POACHED PEAR WITH MIXED GREENS, GRAPES AND HAZELNUTS (SERVES 8)
The poached pear in this recipe elevates this salad to another level. We recommend you splurge on a bottle of Spanish Banyuls vinegar. It comes from a region in the south of France near the border of Spain, and its sweet and nutty flavor pairs well with the pear, grapes, and hazelnuts in our salad.

ANTIQUE BOUTIQUE It wasn’t until the 20th Century that the mixing of styles and periods became acceptable. Antiques will amp up any space, but a delicate balance is required. Antiques can enliven and add drama to a design scheme, and add the touch of time and the human hand. You can explore this art at the Cal-a-Vie Antique Boutique. Join Karin, Cal-a-Vie’s Antiques Boutique Manager, for a weekly mini-course on how to create ‘lush tablescapes’ using antique elements. Visit website to buy antiques: www.antiques.cal-a-vie.com
