Wine Guy

8/27/2010

 
Many years ago, at a critical point in my professional career, I became a wine guy.  I've worked for the little guys, the big guys and the wineries that require bicycle riding to keep up.
The 20+ years of grape growing, jobs in winery production and most recently, in the tasting room have had a tremendous impact on how I view the world:
  • leaving a little residual sugar can mask a lot of bitterness
  • blending requires great patience, diligence and a willingness to respect the diversity of the components at hand
  • unfiltered wines reward right away, displaying their depth and complexity
  • excellent grapes (inputs) make possible the creation of extraordinary wines (outputs)
  • at each processing step for a wine, quality can be preserved or degraded
 It is my intent each day to not unnecessarily fine or filter the events of my life.  I hope to preserve the quality of my relationships and business contacts.  Each advocacy hopes to realize extraordinary outcomes.
And at the end of the many days, to remember our special people with a really good glass of wine!

Cheers!

    When my mother passed very suddenly some 16 years ago, I worked as a trustee for the first time.  Her trust contained walnut orchards, peach orchards and a small vineyard.  One of the properties was within the sphere of influence of the adjacent city and I dove in with the neighbors and started working on annexation.  Loved this work back then and still find it very satisfying today.
