MY LIGHT BULB MOMENT
During college I had to conduct a field research project of my choosing. I settled on the topic of wine/ vineyards because of a budding appreciation of the beverage. I set out to interview and discuss winemaking with every vintner I could access. After experiencing the lifestyle and joy of their work I realized that this industry was where I was going to make my career. Since that time I have been studying and expanding my awareness of all things wine related.
