We had a great time hosting the Vocation Vacation 360 weekend in the wine industry. We had 9 individuals participate who were interested in different aspects of the wine industry from growing grapes (as one had already bought vineyard property) to importing wines. They were mentored by 8 professionals in the wine industry sharing their own experiences in how they got into the industry and what they loved about it (and maybe some of the things that were not quite as appealing). It is an exercise in pulling back the curtain and looking beyond the rose colored glasses when looking at the industry through a wine glass.

Along with the sessions came wine tasting and a wonderful winemaker’s dinner prepared by Chef Davis. It was another culinary delight.

These were some great people who I hope will be successful in their goals and who we hope to continue to have a relationship with as they progress.
