it was so bad that I wasn't able to come, too many things going on for me now, both personally and professionally. I did enjoy the reports and I'm eagerly waiting to know what happened in greater detail. Hopefully next year I'll be able to attend, I still remember how we enjoyed last year in Logrono. If I'm not mistaken, Francesco Zonin, who is a blogger and also part of the largest Italian family wine enterprise, Zonin Vineyards, proposed Veneto as the next venue. Sure, with the help of Zonin that could happen.

It may sound that the Canadian government is very harsh on alcohol consumption, but from my point of view, they are very smart to do this. I work in an alcohol treatment center and trust me when I tell you that the model of the Canadian government should be adopted by other countries as well. You would be surprised to find out how many alcoholics are there in the world. Alcohol is healthy as long as you don't cross the limit, but alcohol companies are producing aggressive commercials which convince the people that drinking and drinking and drinking and... you get the point is something normal and with no real hazard to your health and social life. That is a false image that such companies offer to the public when advertising and each company wants to make as much profit as possible. The Canadian government is vert smart to have such a tight regulation for alcohol consumption.

Was that move you tried on me a 70s dance-floor classic?

Well I grew up playing Pizza Tycoon (which I presume was made by the same people) and spent many a happy hour planning new restaurants, designing toppings, unleashing germ warfare in competitor restaurants in the dead of night and generally carrying out underworld hits.

I really hope the Wine Tycoon version digs so deeply into the darker places of the wine trade!

not sure I need more distraction on the iPhone, but hopefully it will be fun at least.

interesting point – getting multiple points of view can also be very time consuming and I wouldn’t want to put people off. However, context is also important and too often people seem to go with medals/scores irrespective of other useful information

thanks for your contribution
