When my last job ended, I knew it was time for a change, so I thought about what gave me the most enjoyment out of working. I really loved meeting people in the beverage industry and getting infected with their passion for the beverages they made. The most pride I got in the work place was seeing people grow in the industry that had worked for me. Jeff is a great example of this. When we met he was going to college and working as a food runner at Fiamma in the MGM Grand and for the last two years he has sold selling Yellowtail Chardonnay to Pappy Van Winkle 23 year old Bourbon and everything in between. Now he is furthering his career in the beverage industry by moving to Portland and we are happy to have him as our first west coast correspondent.
Listen to his story and then stick around for his best late night sales pitch of one of his favorite beers and as most of my former coworkers he also does a pretty good impression of me.
