Welcome! 100 YEARS Enthusiasts!

My name is Raffaele and I run a very successful dining group in Westchester called WineDineGuide. You can locate the group by going here: http://www.meetup.com/winedineguide/

My passion for Food and Wine started in Italy ever since I was a little boy and everyone gathered around the table and a toast was proposed: "Salute per 100 anni" "Good Health for 100 years" and all members of the family replied "per 101" "for 101"

Running a social dining group has taught me a lot about Food, Restaurants and People. Slowly my interest in Food sparked an interest in Nutrition while the latest research on Wine got me interested in longevity.

So, thank you Grandpa for being the first to wish me "Good Health for 100 YEARS" - Today I discover through health professionals that 100 YEARS is no longer a toast but a reality. In fact by learning more about nutrition facts, vitamins and supplements we have a good chance of living to see our 120th birthday!

I like to stay healthy through eating well and fitness while keeping track of the latest nutritional and supplementation breakthroughs. So, this is what sparked the idea for this group where one can meet and socialize with like-minded people while learning about more cost-effective ways to live a healthy lifestyle.

We will set up wellness meetings, where we share tips on how to eat healthy for less money or introduce and discuss the latest findings in health, wellness and nutrition.
