well, it's the new year and i've been living the hobo life. since returning from oregon, i've been staying with danielle colombo (my long lost sister some would say) in santa clara and commuting to sonoma valley for interviews. i'm proud to say that i have been hired on as an enologist at Paul Hobbs Winery...my first "real" job in the wine industry! it's a fabulous winery in the sonoma valley making some awesome wine. i will soon move into a new apartment in Petaluma with my friend katy that i met in new zealand. don't worry, i'll be e-mailing out my new address. and for those of you close enough, there will be a small party to christen the new apartment. ah, parting with the hobo life will be sad...
i did start my new job without having moved in yet, so i had a pleasant commute from the sonoma coast for a few days...
...followed by a few days commuting from marin county. and next week, i'll be commuting from napa valley! everybody's been real friendly and i believe i'm adjusting quite well to the new workplace and having to work again. it has been hard to get used to waking up at 5am again. the winery is small enough that i still get to do the occasional cellarwork, which i still quite enjoy. and the view from my lab (that's right folks...especially those of you from my bbri days...i'm back in a lab) is quite pretty.
(got to love the bubbling cash still)
