4th week at Platinum Wines!

Today officially marks my 4th week in the wine industry. Looking back at my first blog, I have acheived my target and am actually 4 months early. That's pretty good.

By the way for those who are wondering , I had successfully completed my Advanced Wine course back in January and got a Distinction on both the blind tasting and written sections of the exam. Then while I was still an employee of my previous company (an MNC where I was getting ever so lost inside the company hierachy), I began chatting with numerous individuals already in the wine industry. I actually hadn't thought of getting in the industry so fast, but hey, that's what happened. I found a company that I really wanted to work for and they offered me a position.

So after 7 years in a coporate job, I've officially left and have now taken up a much more entreprenerial role. So yay, let's toast to a great new beginning and hope I survive.
