CHOOSING AN ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLE - Work at a Winery

We built our lifestyle bit by bit so that we could be on the road all the time, moving from place to place. It’s what makes us happiest.
But a life constantly on the go is not everyone’s definition of “having it all”. But does the alternative mean a complete 180 to white picket fence and Monday morning conference calls? Of course not!
Today we’re hanging out with Colin and Hannah. They’re Chicago friends who, several years ago realized, they weren’t happy working in their lucrative Tech and Marketing jobs downtown. The grind, stress, and city life were wearing on them despite the heavy paychecks.
It was a time for a change and a move West to Elkton Oregon. Colin began working with Tyler (remember last weeks video?) in the wine industry. Now, forklifts, chemistry, and even still some computer time - every winery needs a website, right? - fill Colin’s day.
Colin and Tyler were nice enough to show us a little behind the scenes of what their work day looks like.

Now between traveling to European wine shows, raising chickens, maintaining an herb garden and drinking 2014 Pinots over a bonfire--all within an hour’s drive to the Pacific Ocean,- Colin and Hannah haven’t looked back except to remember - we didn’t even know we could be this happy.
We’ve just got to say too - the case of Cuvee we brought back to the Midwest to share with friends and family as holiday gifts was THE HIT of every holiday part and we STILL get texts from people wanted to be reminded “where’d we get that wine!”. River’s Edge Winery ships to just about every US state and you can check out their website in the description box below.

"How come there's no music in here" First thing I thought of on my first day working in a winery,
Do winemakers hate music?
