Well, I can't say leaving the wine business was the easiest. I made it my passion to study wine and learn all I could about such an interesting topic. And, as luck would have it, I was able to achieve a lot of success through the wine industry as a buyer.
However, when opportunity (and luck) strikes again I firmly believe that you have to ride that train no matter the hazy future. I was offered the very luxurious position of Supply Chain Manager for the Sysco Corporation back in July. So, on the one hand I had a great job buying wine for one of the largest retailers in Texas with a lot of perks. But, on the other hand I had a huge opportunity with the biggest distributor of food in the world in their supply chain (thus building on my career). Very difficult decision, and one that I made selfishly for my family.
With all that said, the wine bug has not calmed down. In fact, if anything the wine bug in me has gained a renewed look on life. I still think about wine all the time, but now have the freedom to seek out those wines I like with an unbiased mind. The skills and education I learned working for Spec's has allowed me to be a refined observer of good wines in the marketplace wherever I may find them.
And, in keeping with tradition, I have decided to once again take up this blog and post my latest entries into the world of wine. It is my hope that those of you that read these blogs will enjoy my ramblings, recommendations, and experiences into wine.
Cheers Everybody!
