About

Thanks for visiting.

This blog has been dormant for over one year.  It was written while I lived in Israel for over 6 years, working in wine education, sales, marketing, and writing, among other things.  I have returned to the United States to pursue a different avenue of my wine career – in a cellar, making the wine.

I have changed my career more often than I like to admit, but on the plus side, it has left me with in-depth knowledge of several areas, including theatre directing, playwriting, contemporary art, wines and wineries, public radio journalism, single malt Scotches, chocolate cakes, opera, the cosmetology training industry, Anglo-Irish drama and literature, museums,  internet start-ups, venture capital, competitive speed carrot and potato peeling, the self-help industry, restaurant kitchens, the complete dramatic works of Samuel Beckett, and the art of international adventure travel.

Please contact me if you’d like: irenesharonhodes [at] gmail [dot] com.  It’s quite likely I’ll respond.
