Wine Wednesday: Champagne & News Worth Celebrating

Happy Wine Wednesday! A short week makes it feel a little like a Tuesday while a very busy one makes it feel like today should be Saturday. I can’t complain because it’s warm out, and I have some exciting things on the horizon.

Every now and then life shakes things up a little when you least expect it, and that can be a very good thing.  Over the past few months, several projects and consulting opportunities started to come my way, and I started trying, one-by-one to take them on in addition to my in-house role. That pretty quickly became too much for someone with only 24 hours in a day (Seriously, why can’t we add more? I want to do everything. )

The final push was that one of those opportunities was in the wine industry supporting an event in one of the places I love the most in the world. The decision quickly became a clear one, and we were celebrating even before my official plans were in place. We picked up this 750 ml bottle of Charles de Cazanove Tete De Cuvee Brut Champagne at a Bin Ends event, feeling like a warm spring night and a great opportunity were more than enough reason to start celebrating. This Champagne is everything I love about Champagne; that brioche and biscuit warmth and yeastiness, loads of tiny bubbles that make you smile (and sneeze!), acidity and lemon notes, kind of like lemon meringue pie. We sat in our back yard on the swings and talked all about how life is full of opportunity and how difficult it can be to leave a place and people you really admire and respect.

In one week, I will pack it up at the place where I’ve spent the last two years, learned so much, made memories, and seen some of the hardest working people I’ve ever met, and I will be out on my own once again, a new schedule, home office, clients, and exciting work.

If you know of someone looking for a Marketing/Social Media/PR Consultant, let me know! You can find out more about my background here.  As I take this scary step, I know there can never be too much work!

I’m putting the finishing touches on my home office and really excited for the future. I know that some of my work travels will cross over into the blog, and it should be a good time all around. Thanks for sticking around for the ride.
