Sonoma County winery Murphy-Goode has launched a four-month-long nationwide search for one person to “live out their ultimate dream job” in Wine Country. There are no required qualifications for “A Really Goode Job,” as the winery calls the new position. Instead, Murphy-Goode wants applicants to create a short video resume in which they explain their ideal role in the wine industry and what they would bring to the winery. The video should be uploaded to the application page by June 30, 2021.

The new hire will spend the first 90 days on the job shadowing winemaker Dave Ready Jr. and will then be tasked with a variety of assignments depending on their interests, including “developing working relationships across functions of the winery” and “effectively promoting Murphy-Goode wines through various channels and events.”

During their employment, the winery will work with the new employee to help them pivot their career and choose their path in the wine industry.

“Our job is to help guide their path in the wine business, support their passions and provide a platform to achieve their dream job,” said Tigner. “The job could include anything from winemaking to viticulture, hospitality, culinary, digital marketing, and beyond. The sky’s the limit!”

5. Sounds too good to be true. Too bad I'm retired. Anyway, if you live in Sonoma County, I'm

already your neighbor (Rohnert Park).

7. Hi!

I live in Point Richmond but I'm in Rohnert Park a lot because my mom lives there. I love that area and hubby and I hope to move up that way at some point.

We love the Sonoma wine country and regularly go wine tasting. That winery job in the OP sounds great but it would be a LOT of work LOL

8. Hi BuddhaGirl! I was born and raised in San Francisco and when hubby and I decided that

retirement was around the corner, we started looking around for a warmer climate. Sonoma County was (mostly) ideal and we could afford to move here. Been living here for the past 4 years or so. The people in my neighborhood are usually friendly and a lot of them are dog lovers. (When we go out for walks I see a lot of people with their dogs out and about.) Who knows, I may have run across your mom while I've been walking or running errands.

9. My daughter lives in Rohnert Park

I raised my kids in Santa Rosa. We are retired in Oregon.

I was raised in Napa if I was younger would try for it.

10. Hi Tree Lady! It is great to discover connections and things we have in common here among our

digital community. It now gets me thinking about the possibilities in running across DU'ers and/or family members around this neck of the woods. Wouldn't that be pretty cool? BTW, how do you like Oregon? What are the residents like?

[Tree Lady]

13. We love southern Oregon

Had to deal with fires ourselves this last fall on top of covid. I was just getting to meet people at ally classes is Ashland when covid hit and it all went to zoom.

I will be down in end of April after my last shot next week to stay with cousin and finally visit family.

I love Sonoma county but too expensive for us in retirement.

My daughter is top manager of Manly Honda in Santa Rosa so she is doing well. I am proud of her!! She got her second shot at Kaiser today yay!!

11. It's probably a way to promote themselves

but the offer is still real and would be good for whoever got it.

[alwaysinasnit]

12. You may be right. I don't know much about the wineries around here but some of them were

affected by the wildfires we've experienced these last few years. This method of promoting might just work. Regardless, it seems like a dream job offer.
