Dear A;

I am writing to apply for a position as wine consultant. Although I have worked for the past decade in the field of information technology, where I gained a reputation for exacting and precise work habits, I have cultivated extensive knowledge of fine wine and spirits. During a four-month sabbatical in California, I made an extensive survey of the wine regions of the north and the central coast. Not only did I meet the winemaking staff at numerous estates, vineyards and wineries in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, I also became intimate with the offerings of the lesser known valleys and regions.

I can tell you how to find the best vinters in the Suisun Valley, locate the most rebellious after-hours tasting room in the village of Los Olivos, enjoy the offerings of the edgiest wine firms pouring their first vintages and even lead you to the Bonnie Doon tasting room in the Santa Cruz mountains.

And I can fascinate your customers into buying the established pours as well as the soon-to-be cult wines. I am definitely able to transport considerable amounts of wine in my sports vehicle. Plus, I am willing to travel for wine tastings quite a bit farther than the ordinary consultant, including to home towns of connoisseurs in mid and northern Michigan, upstate Ohio and even Ontario. I invite you to call me at248-506-7377 for conversations about wine and increasing sales of wine club memberships by the Winery Tasting Club.

Sincerely, Wandering Wilbo
