What's the secret to a long life? Wine, according to one 100-year-old Maine woman.

"I like my wine," Florence Bearse told WLBZ-TV at her July 8 birthday party at the Westgate Center for Rehabilitation in Bangor where the former Massachusetts restaurateur now lives.

The party was complete with birthday cake, balloons and gifts, and, of course, a little wine to toast the milestone.

More advice from the new centenarian?

"Don't take any baloney!," she said.
