I'm going to take advantage of your attention here and post a job that's available in our Napa offices. For me, it's one of our most important positions as this person if the voice of Rancho Gordo. It would be a really rewarding opportunity for the right person.
(Please excuse the photo. I MADE some the staff show off our new tee shirt because I'm so proud of them. I'm sure they would have preferred not being a cheesy photo taken by their boss, so I apologize, but not really. I think the world of them!)
