Greetings from Ivalo, Finland!

I'm nearly finished in northern Europe and about to return to Sicily to sort out the final details for part II of our Sicily LiveAway, happening in Cefalu, then heading over to the Amalfi Coast to finalize details for our 2-week LiveAway segment there (we've just put up the webinar registration for this program - you can find the link in your newsletter).

I've specifically fit in this trip Italy following member feedback from our recent poll on Italy, as both Sicily and Amalfi received among the most votes for future LiveAways from the community, and I think both programs are going to be a lot of fun.

Like every great journey, every great travel book is a process of falling in love. There’s always a certain moment – a turn of phrase, an insight that echoes deep in your bones, a joke you weren’t expecting that makes you spit whatever you’re drinking – where you’re suddenly pulled over some kind of emotional event horizon, and it absolutely has you.

Greetings from Bergen, Norway!

I'm here to do some reconnaissance and to meet the owners of a new Norwegian coastal cruise ship company before heading off to Ireland for our next Wheel & Anchor trip, followed shortly thereafter by hosting another group on our Scandinavia & the Baltics program.

Tuscany has cultural, artistic and historical opulence in a region which defines taste like no other.

Tuscany is among Italy’s most stunning, and captivating places to visit; from art to wine to architecture. The undeniable birthplace and home to the Renaissance, Tuscany is the kind of place that is teases the imagination with dreams of life in your own Tuscan villa.

Greetings from Toronto!

I'm back on home soil for a few short weeks to sort out a few things to keep everything moving forward for our future programs, and to attempt to get caught up on member communications.

While reviewing our New Member Questionnaire, I came across several questions regarding vaccines and travelling with Wheel & Anchor.

Sometimes it really is the little things. It shouldn’t matter so much - but what would opening a bottle of wine be without that first “pop!” as the cork comes out, both comical & sophisticated, and always immensely satisfying?

It’s a problem wine-makers have been wrestling with for decades, ever since the arrival of cork alternatives.
