Heeeeee! Meeeeee!
I just found my "official corporate biography" for Wine Chicks, which I don't think was ever published. For those who really don't know what my o.p. (original path) was when I first got here, enlighten yourself with the following italicized remarks:
My name is Bree, and I’ve been sober for roughly ten hours. Cut me some slack here. I work in a wine bar. Or, more to the point, a coffee bar that’s fast in transition to becoming a wine bar. And when I say “fast in transition,” I mean “thinking of setting a cheese plate next to the Splenda.”
Regardless. After eight years spent as a fancy-schmance writer in New York City (you know, the kind that would have the derring-do, technical know-how and joie de vivre re: hyphens to use the word “fancy-schmance” in a bio), I recently relocated to Denver to work a bit in the wine-service industry and see how I feel about opening up my own bar out here.
The best part about Denver? You can join the Mile-High Club from the comfort of your own bed. Or your own bathroom floor. Or his. Depends on how much official business research you’ve downed in the past few hours, animal.
Speaking of official business research, there are many exciting ways by which I am officially researching my business. I will share with you the top six:
1. Studying “Wine for Dummies” and other such high-falutin’ mainstays of the literary canon
2. Asking questions, noting procedure, and sitting in smug judgment of many of the basic marketing and service mistakes at my place of employ
3. Drinking as much wine as I can get my hands on
4. Drinking your wine too, on the sly-like, while you’re in the lavatory
5. Writing about all the hangovers and grit encountered along this entrepreneurial path on my blog, Sweet and Bitter
6. Writing about all the wine and related effluvia encountered along this entrepreneurial path on The Wine Chicks’ blog, The Wine Chicks
And there you have it.
Now let’s get that waitress over here.
Oh! Dipsomania never fails to amuse/confound!
