You may have heard claims about the amazing health benefits of the chemical resveratrol, present in such things as red wine and dark chocolate. But scientific research in this area is in it's infancy. Join us as we talk about the science behind this important chemical compound. We'll also give the science a taste—everyone attending will get to sample local red wine and chocolate.
