I worked my way through college in restaurants and hospitality settings, so naturally, when I arrived in L.A., I started working as a server at Shutters on the Beach Hotel in Santa Monica while researching career options. One day at work, we had to attend a mandatory wine lecture hosted by Peter Neptune, a Master Sommelier. I was intrigued with how involved and interesting wine was with the discussion of the grapes, history, geography, soils, climates, why it tastes as it does, and all it entails. This was a life-changing moment for me. Following the lecture, Peter Neptune gave me a roadmap on how to pursue this endeavor, and here I am still on the wine journey!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d369a1a elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6d369a1a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-small\">2.

Our Ch\u00e2teau visits included very prestigious wine estates to small family wineries, and everything in between. My most memorable experience was visiting Ch\u00e2teau Bourgneuf in Pomerol.
