So not only do I now have a full time day job, but as of today I am the Sommelier/Bartender for Grand River Cellars in Madison, OH.
I spoke with a friend of mine, my wine teacher from Kent, and he knew the owner there was looking for some extra help. He put in a good word for me, and after meeting with her this afternoon I'll be starting on Friday.
It'll be a lot of fun, and a great way to start getting experience in the wine business, and most certainly further my knowledge of wine and perhaps give me some more insight on viticulture and oenology (the agricultural and scientific sides to making wine).
The location is out past Painesville, so those of you who are in Ohio or the Cleveland area know that's a bit of a drive. Once I've moved closer to Cleveland though it'll only be about 30-45 minutes to get there. And for a weekend job it'll be excellent in terms of earning spending money, which means more of my "real" job paycheck can stay put in the bank! Yay.
Here's their website: http://www.grandrivercellars.com/
Please check out their selection, and if you can come visit. I tasted the wines available today, and can say they are some of the best Ohio-grown and produced wines I've had so far. If you want to come out while I'm working, I should be there most Friday evenings, and Saturday afternoons/evenings. They have a full menu as well as wine, so come hungry, and also live music every Friday and Saturday nights.
Cheers!
