Vintage 2011 Complete!

Friday was my last day of work at Kim Crawford. One of the lab techs asked me what I thought of the experience. My answer, this was one of the best things I have ever done! Its been an incredible experience to live and work in another country. I have learned so much about wine production, the culture of New Zealand and other countries from the people I have met. But what really made it for me are the people that I worked with! I thought I should include some pictures of my mates that I just spent the past 7 weeks with. They would put a smile on my face even when it was 7am, cold, rainy and working outside.

  
Allie (UK, 25), Nick (NZ, 30), Calvin (Ontario, 33)
Sylvain, Josh & Dean


Sylvan (Loire France, 29), Josh (Vancouver, 21), Bob (Ireland, 25)

Ryan (Ontario, 23) - Ryan will be working for Opus One
in California this year which is one of highest end winery around.
This is a good guy to know;)

Dean (California, 27)
Marco (Peru, 37)

Jayne (NZ Maori, age??) She is one of the kindest and
most generous people I have met during my travels.

Renan (Bordeaux France, 24) This is the sucker that
bought my car. hahahaha.....
Darragh (Ireland, 33) & Bob. Bob was
one of the guys that would make me laugh
the most. I would consider him, as he would
call it, one of my "besties".

Last but not least is Josh, who would be my
other "bestie". Has the little brother qualities that
I miss when Big D isn't around:) Here we are
doing the Titanic pose on top of the tanks.
