- Assist in vineyard sampling as needed
- Set up laboratory trials and tastings
- Enter analysis results in winemaking database and Excel spreadsheets

- Maintain a clean and organized work environment
REQUIREMENTS:
- B.S. in Viticulture & Enology or similar Science field preferred (or in the process of obtaining a degree)
