11. Am I Moving Back To LA? Reflecting On 4 Years in Paris With My Bestie And Her Own Experience Here In The Wine Industry

June 07, 2023 Vanessa Ruiz

A solo episode! But this time with a friend. Ashley and I have only known each other for a few months but have quickly gotten very close. Our past life experiences are very parallel, we've lived in multiple places and the same time, have had similar personal and professional paths and are now in the same head space about our careers, what we want in life and what we see for ourselves in the future. 

We talk about the pros and cons of living in Paris, our thoughts on moving back to California, how even though we're both passionate about wine and spirits we don't enjoy the act of consuming alcohol very pleasurable anymore, the reality of opening up a wine shop,  and how having a family isn't the most compatible thing for this industry :'(
