Get On Your Bike: Sign Up For Waves to Wine

You have three weeks left to register for the annual Waves to Wine MS Bike Tour, which will take place September 29 to 30 to raise more than $1.2 million for critical Multiple Sclerosis research and vital programs and services.

With AT&T Park, the Golden Gate Bridge and wine country as backdrops, thousands of cyclists participating in this two-day event from San Francisco to beautiful Healdsburg will come together to lend their support to the more than 20,000 Northern Californians living with MS.

After the first day's ride, participants are invited to an evening festival to enjoy great food, great music, and great wines.

To register, volunteer, sponsor a rider, or to learn more, visit http://www.wavestowine.org/ or call 1-800-FIGHT-MS.

Tech Report: Resveratrol on Trial--Winegrapes Exposed

According to today's issue of the Times, thirty British patients suffering from a rare disease will be the first to benefit from a new drug based on resveratrol, a chemical found in red wine.

The small trial, based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in North-East England, will test resveratrol, a chemical they say could potentially lead to a family of new drugs developed to combat the diseases of ageing. A version of resveratrol, SRT501, is also being tested in India for diabetes and several versions of the drug are apparently in the pipeline.

Today, Wine Spectator Online reports that on Aug. 26, a team of Italian and French researchers reported that they have cracked the genetic code of the Vitis Vinifera grape!
