Battling Burnout While Working in Wine

November 1, 2021

BATTLING BURNOUT WHILE WORKING IN WINE

What could possibly be stressful about working with wine? It turns out that a career centered around other peoples’ enjoyment and leisure is anything but relaxing. As news headlines blare dire warnings about “The Great Resignation” aka “The Big Quit,” we focus Ep. 96 on why burnout happens in the wine industry, and what can be done about it.
Keeping us grounded and healthy this week are Laura Louise Green, a spirits educator, Licensed Professional Counselor, and founder of Healthy Pour; and Rebecca Hopkins, founder of A Balanced Glass, and Vice President of Communications at Folio Fine Wine Partners.
LISTEN

IT’S PINOT NOIR SEASON

It’s time to light up the fire, pour the red wine, and get cozy. We were grateful this rainy week to be sipping the 2019 Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir from current sponsor Gran Moraine.

We are cool-vintage fiends, so this lively 2019 is just our style. But don’t take our word for it—try it for yourself and enjoy free shipping!

Purchase any Gran Moraine wine online, enter the promo code FOURTOP, and shipping is on the house.

GET THE WINE
At the end of Ep. 96, you’ll hear our “dessert wine” recommendations, including a juicy historical novel about the 19th-century Spanish wine trade, and a favorite licorice, mint, and fennel digestive tea to sip on.

Curious to learn more? We post our panelists’ “dessert wine” recommendations on our social media feeds, as a slideshow on Instagram or as separate Twitter posts. Just follow us to get those sweet, sweet recommendations.

WHAT’S FOR DESSERT?
