Though i have spent a considerable amount of time writing about lab work this past week, I have to be honest- it is by far my least favorite part of the job. An important one to be sure but not the most exciting. As romantic as titrating and aspirating may sound, It can become pretty repetitive and boring.
The best part about my job is the diversity of tasks I am asked to perform. It keeps things fresh and exciting.
For instance this afternoon I am holding our monthly safety meeting. This is new for us and should help us communicate better regarding our safety policy. To ensure people show up I decided to combine a little wine education and tasting with the safety meeting. Nothing like a good bribe of wine to get people to attend!
Today we are tasting 6 Gewürztraminers and talking about the history of the grape, some general characteristics and some important regions where it is grown. Doing an all staff education seminar each month is, in my eyes, very important. By increasing the overall wine awareness and wine intellect of our staff we will be better suited to help our customers and be able to converse intelligently in what can be a very confusing industry.
Ill let you know how the tasting goes, I doubt anyone cares how the safety portion of the meeting goes!
