      <image:title>Welcome - Glenn</image:title>
      <image:caption>Glenn joined our team with his joyous spirit and a big smile that makes us all smile in return. He brings with him an understanding of small family business, knowledge of freight logistics and account support experience. He loves learning about each of our retail &amp; restaurant customers and our wine &amp; cider partners as well as sharing time with our wine community. What does your downtime look like? Hanging out with friends and family, preferably by the water and/or on a boat.  What’s your favorite song to jam to in the car? That’s a tough one.....but for my "crank it up to volume 11" songs here are some of my all time favorites:  Roll with it by Steve Windward, Kyrie by Mister Mister, In the Stone by Earth Wind and Fire, Your Love or Say it isn't So by The Outfield, and When it Rains it Pours by Luke Combs How about your very first job? In the same summer I started two first jobs; one at a precast concrete plant and that same summer I also became a sandwich artist at D'Angelo's Sandwich Shop! Do you have a secret talent? I can carry a tune pretty well, and in my prime I was good at sound effects and imitations (or so I'm told) Finish this sentence: On Sunday mornings you can usually find me...enjoying time with my wife, and, during the summer, hosting friends and family. What's in your glass lately? Our Pinia Corsican Clementine Wine Spritzer -- ice cold.....crushable is an understatement!!  A nice dram of whiskey post-dinner is always a nice touch, too</image:caption>

He is studying towards his WSET Diploma and enjoys strengthening the wine community as one of the founding members of WooSomm which is a Worcester area industry wine organization. What do you enjoy doing in your downtime? I love cooking and trying out new dishes from around the world. I’m also a big fan of playing board games with family &amp; friends.  Favorite song to jam to in the car?  My Rajneesh - Sufjan Stevens What was your very first job?  Other than doing some random yard work in high school, my first real job was working at an on-campus restaurant called “the grill.” I started out on the sandwich station, but eventually worked my way to the big leagues: the pizza station.  What is your secret skill or talent that most people don't know about?    I am a big football nerd and have become good at Madden (Football video game) over the years playing with my brother.  Finish this sentence: On Sunday mornings you can often find me... Leading my small, childhood church. You can usually find me leading a conversation about topics like beauty, ethics, or the limits of our knowledge.   What's in your glass lately?  I love all things Spanish wine, so I’ve been drinking a lot of Rioja and Cava!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Welcome - Katie</image:title>
      <image:caption>Katie joined our team with a background in engineering and communication. She keeps our wine operation running smoothly with her top-notch organization, communication skills and her sunny enthusiasm. With her merry spirit you’ll find her cheering on our team in the office or taking a moment to belt out a beautiful ballade in the warehouse. Katie’s awesome sense of humor and endless curiosity have our team laughing in between orders. What do you enjoy doing in your downtime? I spend most of my downtime hanging out with my family or friends. I also love to ski, crochet, and play video games. Favorite song to jam to in the car?  Usually I have an audiobook or podcast going, but when I'm in the mood for music it'll likely be Sugarland. What was your very first job?  I was a babysitter for my neighbors for years, but my first "real" job was at a local video rental store. What is your secret skill or talent that most people don't know about?    I have a knack for remembering song lyrics. I tend to sing along to whatever is playing without even noticing. It can be fun to annoy my teenage kids by coming up with and singing a song "from the 1900s" that relates to whatever we're talking about. Finish this sentence: On Sunday mornings you can often find me...Sleeping in! I'm a night owl and I love having a day where I can stay cozy in bed and be lazy.  What's in your glass lately? Probably Prosecco or, if there's someone to make one for me, a whiskey sour.</image:caption>
