Just when I knew everything about the wines I was selling and let's be truthful, maybe a little bored of them, I went and got a new job. Exciting and interesting wines and...oops! I know very little about them, nor very much about the regions they come from. Don't get me wrong, I am not upset selling wines from Europe, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and Portugal, I am just a tad bit behind the eight ball (god that saying is stupid, I mean who the hell wants to be in FRONT of the eight ball?).
I prefer to be the person who knows the most, which means I have a lot of reading and tasting to do in the near future. Added to the fact that I am working later and even this weekend, it means I have very little spare time, except for sleeping. Oh yeah, not doing too much of that either. Excitement is apparently very bad for sleep habits.
Major bonus, I was on a quarter of a tank on Monday, and even though I have done all the driving around I haven't even gotten to the refill stage yet. Hooray for working downtown!
