Getting my groove back.

So, it’s been a while, most definitely the longest I’ve gone without posting since I started this site so many years ago. I have a good reason though, not good enough to keep up with this behavior, but good enough to excuse my momentary silence.

I, my friends, got a new job. A fantastic job. I really love this job. So, I’ve been a bit preoccupied. I was contracted by the renowned Concha y Toro, the second largest wine producer in the world and I’m working exclusively with their premium brand Cono Sur Vineyards & Winery as their Web Manager. I am in charge of maintaing our bilingual website, creating content in both English and Spanish, I run our social media networks, I’m in charge of all incoming communications, I do a lot of translating and I’m involved in several smaller campaigns and projects. It’s utilizing my degree while learning all kinds of new things and being the only native speaker in an office of +20. I’m given creative freedom, the occasional bottle of wine and well, I’m just oh-so content. That’s not even to mention the amazing work environment…

So for this post, I’m bringing in some photos I took on a recent visit to the winery with two Koreans, a journalist and the country’s top sommelier. I’ll start with our amazing tasting, where we tried more than 15 of our top wines.
