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.
