About Me:

Two and a half years ago I picked up a book from Prairie Lights Bookstore in Iowa City, Iowa called 'Delaying the Real World.' One of the things to pursue was working on a vineyard in New Zealand. Four months later I found myself working at Stonyridge Vineyard and Winery on Waiheke Island, New Zealand. Since that moment I have come to find out that the world of wine is very real, fun and exciting! With two harvests under my belt, serving wine in restaurants and some work in tasting rooms, I am continuing to pursue my career with wine!
