Meet the new guy
Greetings. I’m Eric Hwang, and I am the new Social Marketing Manager for Windsor Vineyards here in Windsor, California. It’s been nearly two weeks since I moved down to Santa Rosa from Seattle and started working here. I would have written this sooner but I’ve been in the spin-cycle since I arrived and it doesn’t show any signs of slowing. Since I’m going to be communicating with you through this blog, I think, at the very least, I should introduce myself to you, tell you a little bit about me and find out what you think I should be blogging about.
I’ve been a serious wine drinker for about 9 years now (and a casual drinker for even longer.) Combine that with over two decades in the technology field and you get a serious wine geek in every sense of the word. I started a wine blog at the beginning of this year and quickly became proficient with all the latest social media tools and platforms. This past June and July, I participated in another winery’s search for a Wine Country Lifestyle Correspondent which gained enough notoriety for me to be recognized by other wineries and eventually landing me a job here—smack in the middle of wine country—doing my dream job: learning about wine, winemaking and the wine industry and using social media to share it with others. Along the way, I’ll introduce you to some great wines, notable winemakers and, hopefully, share some useful information.
That’s all for now, but stay tuned for more postings coming soon. Thanks for visiting. Here’s a little video of my drive down from Seattle to Windsor:
