This is the season that I wait for all year: Christmas. For me, this festive time truly gets going in September, with a seemingly never-ending stream of birthdays and anniversaries, followed by Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the beginning of ski season (which for any real ski bunny is the most wonderful time of the year).
With how busy we have been here over the last few months, it seems as though everyone else who steps into our tasting room is in a similarly celebratory mood! As the event coordinator here, there is nothing that I love more than seeing the cellar full of friends enjoying some wine, live music, and friendly conversation. From our own weekly events like Happy Thursday and Friday Night Live to private parties like enormous fundraisers or quiet holiday gatherings, things have definitely been bustling around here.
Jack providing critical insight during a staff meeting
So, in the midst of the holiday hubbub, you will have to forgive us for a rather large administrative oversight: We have forgotten to update the staff directory on our website. As many of you know, someone has joined our regular events staff here at Rominger West. He is the first to greet you when you walk through the door and the last to say goodbye as you leave, having now been affectionately dubbed the “minister of mirth.” Although this is Jack’s first real job—at fourteen weeks old, it is the very definition of entry level—he is making a promising start to his career as a winery puppy. With an above and beyond aptitude for customer service and an impressively sharp head for business, Jack is certainly the one to beat for employee of the month.
Stop by one of these days and meet the little guy yourself—he won’t be little for long!
