Last July, I packed up everything and left New York for Sonoma, CA. It was a split decision after being accepted into the Silver Oak & Twomey Apprenticeship Program in partnership with The Veraison Project. I didn’t know what to expect but my key goal was to truly immerse myself into wine to be a better advocate & leader for those that are underrepresented. It’s been a huge sacrifice and journey. Whether you’re new to the wine industry or an emerging wine entrepreneur, I highly suggest you apply for this masterclass experience. The family at Silver Oak, affectionately know as “The Bunch,” provide a sense of ease and kindness that I have never experienced before in a work environment. For 12 months, the wine country life will transformed me and provided a strong, proven blueprint of best in class wine business. As the end of my assignment is quickly approaching, I reflect on the richness of the experience, unexpected challenges, and all the possibilities for the future. I wrote a blog post about it, check it out!
