Regular readers already know the benefits from drinking wine in moderation. And Stansberry Alliance members likely know that I even launched my own Cabernet Sauvignon from Dry Creek Valley last year (a spectacular success, but made in very limited quantities).

Recently, a reader wrote in asking me to "give up some of [my] antiquated notions about doctoring."
