Scholarship for Harvest Interns

Message from  Jean L. Arnold

A shout here for all interested sommeliers and other passionate wine people. Do you know there is a Foundation that offers a scholarship to intern at very cool wineries for harvest?

There are two programs – one for a two week internship and one for a three month. It is an awesome program and YES a scholarship to intern!

Go to the website – www.jimmymancbachscholarship.com

- yes, now! :-)

Jimmy Mancbach Memorial Scholarship Foundation

In 2007 we lost a great friend of the wine industry, Jimmy Mancbach. His love of wine and enthusiasm for living life to the fullest will truly be missed…
