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. This happened at Morses Pond in Wellesley, Massachusetts, the first drowning there in 38 years. The kid was found after 1.5 hours by a Fire Dept diver in waist high water, 30 feet […]trondau

- 10 Reasons Why Obama Should Appoint Romney as Secretary of Business November 10, 2012In a surprising move, President Obama has appointed Governor Romney as Secretary of Business, in charge of new business creation and with the mandate to drastically simplify the regulations for small businesses. Fantasy, you say? Yes, for now, but this would be a brilliant move. Here’s why. Obama needs to demonstrate what he means by […]trondau
- 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. I was inconvenienced by airport security. All of this went on for many years. Then, I decided not to wait to be comfortable until I was in a […]trondau
- 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. Despite my warnings that they were taller, smarter, and funnier than me and that there was no reason to think that I should give them advice, rather the reverse, they actually listened to me for […]trondau

- Air Provence: Provence Rosé Takes Flight December 12, 2019The list of regions around the world that make good Rosé wine is very long because Rosé is a style of wine, not a wine grape variety. But the word-association game answer is easy: Rosé? Provence. And although my friends in California and the Languedoc and other places that have nice Rosé hate it when […]Mike Veseth
- What Can We Learn from the Wine in Moderation Movement? December 10, 2019Some say that it is time for the wine industry to take the initiative to change perceptions through a generic promotion program. The “Got Milk?” campaign made people think about milk a bit differently. Maybe a similar initiative could shift the needle on wine? One concern, as I wrote last week, is that as memorable […]Mike Veseth
- Got Wine? Is It Time for a Generic Wine Promotion Campaign? December 3, 2019I’ve had several conversations recently that circled back to the idea that the wine industry should invest in a generic promotion campaign. You know what I mean. Not “Got Milk?” (maybe the most celebrated generic promotion of all time), but something along the lines of “Got Wine?” or “Got California Wine?” depending on who’s […]Mike Veseth

- 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
- Wine maps are all the rage November 22, 2019“Wine is geography in a glass,” Hugh Johnson said recently. He and Jancis Robinson were in town to promote the new edition of the World Atlas of Wine. He said that back in 1970, the publisher was unsure if a book of wine maps would really fly. So he had to impress upon the publisher […] The post Wine maps are all the rage appeared first on Dr Vino's win […]Dr. Vino
- The Kincade fire is awful October 28, 2019The Kincade fire has already burned 54,000 acres in Sonoma County, roughly the size of the area also under vine. There have been mandated evacuations of 180,000 residents and the 3,400 first responders have it only 5% contained. Strong winds have blowing sparks and embers huge distances but the winds are moderating. The governor has […] The post The Kincade […]Dr. Vino
