This is probably the stupidest thing to vote on EVER!!! Maybe you should write a letter to your congressman and ask him and M.A.D.D., for their vote. Then post your results!

I just can’t believe how may BRAIN DEAD PARENTS THERE ARE IT THE WORLD TODAY!
This is what the vote should be: Are parents with kids between the ages of 1day & 18yoa bigger idiots the say they know?

You are what’s wrong with today’s teens!!!
I mean gangsters, drug dealers, car jackers, and child abuser wife killers’ child molesters… I could keep going but I wont!

Hey here’s an idea, why don’t you take you kid to Disneyland… They have plenty of beer & wine for you to throw down you throat and image this, Disneyland a is place FOR KIDS, where they can scream, cry, spit, stomp feet, throw fits, ride rides, drink punch have fun AND mom & dad don’t endanger their Kids lives by drinking & Driving.

Is there a brain in your in your head or is pickling from all that wine?

Everything said, i feel that proper education for both the adults and their children is more important then cutting them off totally.

(1) Behaviour. This is a business decision. Obviously, no one should attend tours who does not have enough of an attention span to respect the tour and its participants. However, I’ve seen fifth-tour-of-the-day adults cause as much of a scene as young children! Why not a general “quiet, please” policy on tours? Similarly to libraries (though of course, more conversational) where all must conduct themselves according to the rules of the space.

(2) Influence. This is a social decision. It must be admitted that bringing children along to ‘castles’ and caves, where grape juice is magically turned into a beverage that makes adults silly, will influence young minds. But since nothing else mandates that parents/schools thoroughly educate young kids on the pros and cons of alcohol consumption, this is a problem of wider girth than wineries. I err on the side that tours provide opportunities to raise such discussions, thus doing more good than harm. Ultimately, our culture is divided in its approach to whether this issue belongs in the law or the family — with age requirements at alcohol-related web sites, but none at convenience/liquor stores that feature massive, colourful poster ads.

If kids are allowed all the time in adult spaces, no exceptions, then I want a license to go into any daycare center to use the restroom, fix myself a snack of cookies and juice, and take a nap.

I am standing at my desk, applauding, in between belly laughs. Thank you for this, Jen. Bravo!

Note the difference, folks.

What everyone else said RE if the kids are squirmy and screamy they don’t belong there.

And YES to whomever pointed out that in Brooklyn, every damn watering hole in town is now a stroller derby. This unsettling trend is also spreading to Queens; luckilly, that boro still has enough dive bars where no sane person would even think of bringing a child that I can still find a child-free drink.
