Looking for a career in the Wine Industry

[njwine]

Hello,

I'm looking to make a career change. I have an extensive sales and customer service background that involves elite products with a high end customer base (retail). I also have an extensive advertising and promotions background running an in-house ad agency for a retailer of elite products.

I do have an interest in wine and enjoy wine very much.

I'm located in the Northeast (NJ) and would prefer to remain here. What are some avenues to approach breaking into the wine industry?

Thanks.
