"I got a real kick out of the hands-on nature of winemaking from the beginning. Now being back in a hands-on role wearing multiple hats, it has been fun but equally as challenging, I am certainly a lot fitter as well.⁠
...what keeps me going? A quote from my mentor Don Young “You are only as good as your next wine”⁠

"I decided to pick up my life and move to San Francisco. I had nowhere to stay, no family to show me around and no real plan. What I did have was an interview at Tartine. It’s definitely the furthest I’ve travelled for an interview. I arrived and they had already filled the spot but I continued to work there for free until one day a baker mentioned a different bakery looking for someone. I gave it a try and turned out this bakery, MH Bread and Butter, was more my scene.⁠
...it didn’t take me long to work it out, turns out I’m pretty good with bread. Early on in this gig, I realised bread was my thing."⁠

"And most of all, being able to work with Steingarten Riesling, which was the first 6-pack of wine I ever bought (at age 19) It was one of my favourite wines then and still is today. ⁠
This was one of the wines that sparked my interest in all things wine and was the springboard for giving winemaking a go."⁠
⁠
