MY LIGHT BULB MOMENT
I was at a family friends house having dinner and they started opening a few different bottles of wine. My neighbor worked for Kendall Jackson at the time, and he wanted us to try their wine. I took in a good sniff of the wine, thinking this is how fancy people do it, and I started talking about what I was smelling. Needless to say my neighbor was impressed. I didn't realize this could even be a career option until I found out about the WSET program.
