Dining, Culture and Good Health
With an array of high quality whites and superb reds, there is always the perfect wine for any occasion.
Combining wonderfully with any choice of our steakhouse fare or market seafood, from the menu at either
of our restaurants in La Jolla, San Diego and Phoenix. At Donavan’s, the sophistication and enjoyment of
wine with food is a notoriously delicious and harmonious blend, but there are also significant health
benefits that are becoming increasingly well researched and solidified.
There a multitude of reasons why we as people and society at large, drink wine – and have done for
millennia. Fine wine is a symbol of celebration and sophisticated socializing in modern times. It can mark
an individual quiet moment of contemplation, exuberant social conversation or be sipped and interspersed
between an exceptional meal. Wonderful red wine can bring out the textures and nuances of our typically
hearty steakhouse food, whereas a subtle white is an excellent axis to our diverse seafood choices.
Science and Social of Wine - Historically and to the Present Day
However enjoyed, fine wine is an empowering drink, with a subtle mixture of science and culture; it can
help set a vibrant mood to the perfect occasion and compliment a diverse variety of pallets and tastes.
Historically, great leaders and rulers would implement wine to excite, rouse and even sedate the crowds
and masses. Looking for enthusiastic support or hoping to avoid rebellion; the mastery and possession of
wine has historically meant holding power. Serving wine has often meant remaining popular. Even Biblical
elements are affected by the significance of wine to society.
Antioxidants and Resveratrol Lead the Line In
Gathering Wine Benefits to the Heart and Health
Recently there have been a multitude of researched health benefits that regular consumption of wine may
offer – especially in the red wine department. Red wine has an element contained inside of it called
resveratrol, that has been consistently linked to the health of the heart. In moderation, results have proved
that the balanced and considered intake of wine, especially red wine, can have a direct influence on
preventing various heart diseases, prolonging life and improving health.
Other perceived benefits are created by antioxidants; a nutrient of vitamins and minerals which is density
populated in wine, and can improve and invigorate skin conditions, internal body tissue, hair health and
vitality, as well as nail and optical health. These chemical substances called antioxidants have been tipped
as an exceptionally beneficial element to human health, and encouragement has been enthusiastic and
consistent throughout the scientific community of its benefits.
Antioxidants are numerous in red wine, alongside substances called flavonoids, resveratrol and polyphenols
which research is showing may safeguard the blood vessels of your heart, that create a protective lining
within.
Modern Tastes and Complimentary Flavors
In modern times wine has become more culturally common, but remains a great source of pleasure and
intricately linked to the enjoyment of great food for many. Within contemporary society, wine may portray
youth and young exuberance on one hand, while a representation of status, identity and social standing,
on the other.
