Jobs in Wine

[Jewels]

Am a seasoned professional from the internet software business looking to make a total career change into the wine industry. Currently in the NYC area and trying to figure out where to start. Have spent considerable time tasting wine and visiting vineyards as a hobby.

What is the best place to start to get into the industry? If it is retail, which are the best stores to target. Or is it better to focus on the distrubutor or importers and again which ones should I look at.

Thanks for any advice.
