Member Meet & Greet PLEASE RSVP
We encourage ALL Wine Road members to save the date for our next “meet and greet” planned for May 13th from 11:00-1:00 at Rodney Strong Vineyards. This is an opportunity for lodging members to each have their own table to display their rack cards, photos, business cards etc, and for winery members to meet the lodgings, schedule tastings and share comp tasting cards.
Rodney Strong will be hosting and providing pizza and salad for lunch and we’ve invited our lodgings to bring their favorite dessert to share. We hope to have 1-2 people from each property join us (wineries and lodgings). Please RSVP to beth@wineroad.com.

“Surviving A Family Business”
Tuesday, June 16th at Shone Farm.
It’s not about succession planning but about the problems and joys of dealing with family, learning negotiation and conflict resolution and creating a good working environment for both family and non-family employees.

Sales Tax Issue
If you haven’t already heard, or do not already have this system in place – you need to be charging state tax on your “shipping” fees, at least to some states. Lawsuits pending because of this issue. Check with your compliance person (not me) for details. Sorry – always the bearer of bad news, red tape, permits, fines…
Customer (attorney) who is placing orders to see if you charge tax:
Stephen Diamond, 332 S. Michigan Ave, Chicago.
