I have traveled to Italy at least once and sometimes twice a year for the last 12 years. I always start in Rome since for the most part it's the most direct route from America. Truth be told, I think you can never get enough of this incredible city short of living there anyway. One year I was there 3 times. All of my trips have been for at least 10 days and many for 2 weeks or more. After coming into Rome and spending at least a day or two there I go on to either Florence or Sorrento. I rent an …

Northside Wine Collection Club is an established form of alternative investment that can offer impressive returns. The wine market is based upon simple supply and demand economics. Bordeaux has the most stable financial market of all wine producing regions, while in each decade only 3-4 vintages out of every 10 have wines of a high enough quality for investment purposes. A chateau can only produce a unique and finite amount of wine each year. As this is happening the wine is maturing and becomin …

The idea behind this group is to offer a place for people interested in wine to experience wine together. Learning about wine on your own is tough and I find quick tastings at wine shops or huge crowded wine events equally unhelpful. Here we can have a small group, take our time, and get to know more about wines and each other. Whether you know nothing about wine or you're an expert, all that matters is that you're interested. My hope is to do small group tastings that I know I always want to d …
