Napa, Bordeaux, Tuscany and Rioja offer more for your family than just great wine.
My wife tells me winery visits are not interesting for toddlers. I disagree. Wine trips are not only for connoisseurs, you can bring your spouse, brother, kid, parent or even your pet along. But remember two key planning tips: 1. Reading wine books that describe vines, wines and grapes will not help you much. 2. Every vacation should provide each participant non-wine, peak experiences, so anchor your trip in an independently attractive city that has options for the whole family (see Family Wine Vacations, Color Magazine USA, ED. 35 – MARCH 2011).

Leadership From Below- Lessons from the Drowning in Morses Pond June 7, 2013On 1 June 2013, my kids, wife and I were on the beach during the drowning of a 10 year old boy.

- 10 Ways To Gain Energy From A Long-Haul Flight April 14, 2011Flying used to drain my energy. Whether on a short or long flight, I could not sleep. I could not rest. I felt crammed. I got stressed.

- Beyond Leadership From Below November 12, 2010I recently spoke to a group of Product Marketing students at KU Leuven, the famous and ancient university in Belgium.

- Wine, Recession, and Coronavirus: This Time is Different? March 17, 2020Last week’s Wine Economist column was a working draft of my analysis of how the coronavirus pandemic might impact the wine industry. One focus was on the possibility of a recession in at least some parts of the world and slowing economic conditions generally. An economic downturn would certainly impact the wine industry. Wine is, […]Mike Veseth

- Wine tariff comment period ends today January 14, 2020Tariffs of 100% may soon hit European wines in America. The price of some wines will double. But mostly it will mean that many of the most coveted wines will no longer be available. The comment period ends today at midnight over at the site of the United States Trade Representative. Fully 24,071 people have […] The post Wine tariff comment period ends today […]Dr. Vino
- European wines face a potential 100% tariff December 16, 2019Another day, another wine tariff post… Last week, news trickled out that the US Trade Representative might raise the tariff on European wine to 100%. Oh, and the tariff on 31-pages of other items.

- Bracing for 100% Champagne tariffs December 3, 2019Late yesterday, the US Trade Representative unsheathed a champagne saber. But it wasn’t for sabering champagne in celebration; rather, it was for dealing it a blow by threatening tariffs of 100%. French sparkling wine (not still wine) as well as cheese, handbags, makeup and enamelware would be affected. (See the whole list here.) While that […] The post Brac […]Dr. Vino
