Dillettantes need not apply
You just have to love it when a winemaker realizes what they need in an employee!
The following is from an ad posted for a winemaking position for Chrysalis Vineyards in Middleburg, Va (the text in bold is my doing):
Qualifications:
Required: degree in fermentation science, or related, 2 years cellar experience, 1 year lab experience, familiarity with all common winemaking equipment, procedures, and practices. Dedicated, serious, career-oriented individuals committed to quality only. Hands-on, physical position. Dilettantes and romance of wine types need not apply. Full time, benefits, salary DOE. Reply with résumé, and a brief letter describing your qualifications, motivation, expectations, and salary requirement.
Ha!
Word to the wise: there's an awful lot of hard work that goes into making a bottle of wine...if you think it's all "wine and roses", think again!
I don't know of anyone in the industry who doesn't complain about harvest and the hours required - regardless of appellation they work in.....

They changed the ad.
now it reads:
"Dedicated, serious, career-oriented individuals only, committed to quality and who take pride in getting the details done and done right. "
Too bad, too. Anyone who was willing to exclude dilletantes up front should be commended!
Link's broken to the ad.....they probably got too much traffic from the attention you gave them and had to repost.
