Ha, I choose where I want to live, first and then apply and I will get a job. Have a degree and a lot of work experience. As long as it's a town, with a good amount of wineries too apply for I will easily get on during harvest. Back to the point, I have been traveling harvest to harvest in different countries and states and looking for a place to settle down with. It has to have a good night life. So santa barbara seems like the big choice right now? Santa Maria and paso are really that miserable?

Good luck hitting your rent target in SB.

Santa Maria and Paso Robles aren't miserable...

PS: Speaking of wineries. The Gallo winery here is fired up. I went outside and can smell it working away.

Awesome, which of the two would you recommend? I kind of want to live in a big city, with a huge population, not seeing the same people over and over again. I hear Paso is kind of small. I actually have lived in Goleta before, and it is an option, but not sure if I want to live in that area again. We will c

By Degree, I meant specifically a degree in Enology not "just a degree". As for working at harvest. Field work is done by Mexicans. While it is true that there is a labor shortage due to the border enforcement of the last 4 years. Non Mexican Americans cost too much, not that their labor is paid more, but, they work too slow.

Paso Robles is a fine little town, Santa Maria is not "miserable" but, you need to research and find out for yourself what it is.

A report on our Citizen wine grape picking crew. After a “Call to Arms” for local unemployed citizens to pick grapes that started in our monthly column in the Avila Community News and our blog inthevines.com, we were picked up by Cal Coast News, Lewis Perdue’s international “New Fetch” wine blog (you should get it if you want to know what is going on in the wine business worldwide), ‘Wines and Vines’, WineBusiness.com and by KSBY’s television newscast.

We had over 80 inquiries for the jobs. We had forty come in and fill out a five page application from which we picked 22 to come in for an interview with four of those not showing up. So we took the 18 remaining and started picking on a Wednesday. That day cost us over $500 a ton which is three times the normal. The next day it picked up a little.

Now a degree in enology is a wonderful idea. And you can attend FSU for that. While actually working at FSU's winery. You would be 3 hours from the beach, but thems the breaks. Whole lotta fieldwork to be done around here also, and cheaper COLA than anywhere you are looking for sure.

Shoot, my brother-in-laws father might hire ya when it's time to bring in his crop if you want to get your hands dirty. He's only got about 10 acres (I think) so it's a weekend of work about when he puts the call out.
