Hello/
new to this forum and site
Currently in a restaurant business, close relations with wine, etc. Looking for a job in California, Oregon at the winery, long-term plans to go to UC Davis, too. First, need a job to move to get me started. Problem is- don`t excactly now where to look out there and how. Any tips would be EXTREMELY appreciated.

Inside the tasting room the number one tip:
Be willing to work for free.

In the winery these skills are door openers:

Ability to lift heavy things, at least 60 pounds, 100 (empty barrel) is better.

Certified forklift operator.

Speak Spanish.

Willing to clean anything. Working in a commercial kitchen is actually a good thing, shows you are willing to clean.

The best thing you can do is start sending out notes to small wineries asking for work. You may get lucky.

UC Davis won't be cheap hope you have money!
