Lenard “The Wine Guy” believes a good glass of wine pairs best with a good book — preferably one about wine. 🍷📚

This month, he’s sharing his ten favorite wine reads (all personally vetted, of course… and one proudly written by him). From Big Macs & Burgundy to The Widow Clicquot, from the legendary Judgment of Paris to the rise of Robert Parker’s 100-point scale, it’s a tour through France, California, the White House, and beyond — best enjoyed with the proper pour in hand.

His advice? Drink Champagne with Clicquot, Bordeaux with tales of war, and keep an open mind (even about screwcaps).

And when you reach the final recommendation, you’ll find Lenard’s own Wine Memories — stories of a life well-lived, one glass at a time. Buy a copy, bring it to him, and he just might sign it.

Find these titles online or support local at Lido Village Books — and tell them who sent you. 🍷

We all know the classics—Hawaii, Italy, Mexico, London. But luxury travel in 2026 is taking a quieter turn. Families are choosing space, authenticity, and calm over crowds and trends.

Here are five destinations that still feel undiscovered, each offering culture, comfort, and family-friendly adventure:

🌿 Santa Teresa, Costa Rica
🌊 The Azores, Portugal
🏛️ Malta
🍋 Sicily, Italy
🏝️ Menorca & Mallorca, Spain

The new luxury isn’t about being seen—it’s about being together in places that feel private, pure, and unforgettable.
