Persistance was the best attribute I had.<BR/><BR/>My pay was pretty low when I finally got a few casual shifts. I worked for a year at the winery cellar door before getting an IT contract that paid twice as much. <BR/><BR/>Still, it was enjoyable meeting lots of new people, doing the tastings and selling the wine.I'd like to get back into cellar door work while I study for my wine marketing diploma.<BR/><BR/>Hope you have more luck but don't ever expect to make your fortune doing it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
