Kim and Margo Longbottom, the mother-daughter winemaking team at Australia’s Vintage Longbottom, are planning a Champagne brunch for Mother’s Day.
“There’s a great little restaurant that we frequent with a plant nursery attached out back,” says Kim.
Margo is looking forward to it. “Their philosophy is whatever they don’t grow, they source locally,” she says. “Mum and I are big fans of supporting local businesses.”
On Mother’s Day, many people will spiritually or physically raise a glass to the matriarchs and maternal figures in their lives. How, though, do multigenerational winemaking families handle collaborations all other days of the year? Are there challenges to working alongside your parent or child in the cellar, vineyard or CEO’s office?

In March 2021, Snopes readers asked about viral news stories that said a dog-rescue charity had “funneled” money to former U.S. President Donald Trump by holding events at his Palm Beach, Florida, resort Mar-a-Lago.
“Dog Rescue Charity Linked To Lara Trump Funneling Money Into Donald Trump’s Pocket,” the headline on the left-leaning Huffington Post website reported. The article reported that the Florida-based dog rescue has “links to Lara Trump,” wife of the former president’s son Eric. Citing a permit from the town of Palm Beach, the story said the rescue group paid Trump-owned Mar-a-Lago $225,000 for a fundraising event held there titled “Women, Wine, and Shoes” held on March 12 and March 13, 2021.
