Life as a Wine Broker

So this is long over due and I’m sorry!

I am finally able to give myself the hard earned title of personal wine consultant! I started my new job about a month ago and have been trying to build my client file and find people who love and appreciate amazing wines.

All the while doing this I have been experiencing the beautiful juice I have been tasked with selling – yes tough job I know.

So the thing about being a wine broker is about loving what you are getting to your clients, and also making sure that you recommend something that you know your client is going to love! And that’s not really hard when you are working with the quality of wines that I am.

I am able to sell (and drink) the top 5% of hand crafted boutique wines in the world. All of our wines are 500 case production or less and have absolutely no extra crap added to them – so that means no more headaches! I am so happy to report that I can officially drink white wine again! Well some at least the ones that come from our wineries as they have no added sulphar! Yay!

The hard part however is getting people to trust you and trust your judgment. It is a daunting thing, buying wine over the phone. Especially when you don’t really know that much about wine. But that is the beauty of working with someone like me. I take the guess work out of wine buying for people. I am literally putting my liver on the line to make sure that I recommend the perfect wines for m clients – again, tough job I know.

So that folks is my first post abut my new life as a wine broker… I hope to update again soon with more happenings and maybe some wine nerd knowledge.

Cheers!
