Neither did my upbringing in industrial south Lancashire, not much vine growing in the North West of England in the nineteen sixties and seventies – though plenty of factories that would have made a good job of fabricating the machinery needed in the modern day wine making process. I suppose lots of time wasted on sports and drinking didn’t contribute to the required skill set either, unfortunately. In fact, it’s difficult to find anything relevant to a viticulture adventure in my previous experience. Indeed, if I had decided to advertise for a manager to take on the project of setting up my vineyard and then applied for the job myself, I wouldn’t have even given me an interview after looking through my CV. I might have paused briefly when I read about the mid-life geography degree and subsequent employment in Nepal. But the mishmash of jobs after that would have settled it – definitely not a person with a back story suited to the task in hand.visualizza meno
