Exciting news to Announce: We have a Vineyard!   A dream and goal has come to fruition. In 2004, I worked in Napa and dreamed of one day owning a vineyard!! After a ton of grit, 15 years of hard-work and determination, my dream has come true.    I grew up in Northern California and spent as much time in Napa Valley as possible. In 2004, I relocated to Green Valley, a small town just outside of Napa on Highway 12. I had just wrapped up 10 years at a medical device company and was ready for a break from the corporate grind. I landed a job at New Vine Logistics in Napa Valley and was an Account Manager responsible for helping small wineries ship wine to states outside of California. My “ ffice" was meeting space at small wineries where I collaborated directly with wine makers and vineyard owners. I fell in love with the winemaking process and the vineyard lifestyle. So much so, I dug up a small patch of grass in my backyard (with the help of my son) and planted grapes. It was then that my dream was to one day own a small vineyard and make wine.  In 2020,  John and I bought the Temecula vineyard; blending the Morgan and Botello into the MoBo Vineyard. The MoBo Vineyard estate is private and we plan to share this amazing property with those looking to host small intimate events.   Dreams do come true with hard work, perseverance and determination.   www.MoBoVineyard.com TheMoBoGroup@gmail.com

Do you struggle to claim credit for your achievements?  Self promotion is an essential tool for career advancement, whether in job or performance reviews, or just networking.

Reasons to watch the powerful Netflix Documentary 13th Filmmaker Ava DuVernay explores the history of racial inequality in the United States, focusing on the fact that the nation's prisons are disproportionately filled with African-Americans.
