I am pleased to report that I will be speaking at two international wine congresses in Milan, Italy next month.
I’ll be speaking at the International Congress on Sustainability “SUSTAINABILITY AS A TRIBUTE TO WINE QUALITY” on 3rd November 2015 and “DISCOVER THE SENSORY FACTORS” on 4th November 2015 during the 26th edition of SIMEI – International Enological and Bottling Equipment Exhibition in Milan, Italy. This event is sponsored by the Unione Italiana Vini, an association of Italian wine producers whose 500 members account for 70% of the nation’s wine.
The congresses feature innovative and interactive programs and an impressive group of speakers and participants. I am very pleased to take part! Here is a description taken from the conference website.
“For the 2015 edition of SIMEI – International Enological and Bottling Equipment Exhibition – the WORLD LEADER in wine technology and the only international biennial exhibition which presents at the same time machinery, equipment and products for production, bottling and packaging of all drinks, Unione Italiana Vini has confirmed its commitment in the organization of global hot topics congresses.”

Hi Mike hope that all is good with you – once you have delivered the sustainability speech, we would be privileged to post it on our site as a guest blog – with a link to The Wine Economist if desired. Best wishes from Burgundy Paul
Thanks, Paul. I will be speaking from notes not a prepared text, but I will keep your invitation in mind if I write up my comments. Thanks again!
Finally! It will be a real pleasure to meet you Mike. I’m organizing the gala dinner for the Simei (on the 4th)! Is it possible to meet you in Milan? Or a dinner together (not on the 4th…)?

That’s great news, Alessandro. Sue and I will be at the gala dinner and we will be staying on for a few days, so we should have time for a dinner before we leave.
Cheers and best wishes.
