Spanning five decades of grit, reinvention, and passionate pursuit, this book follows the author through the bold decisions that shaped his life. From the structured corridors of the corporate world to owning a plastics business, he spent twenty years building, learning, and ultimately stepping away—only to begin an entirely new chapter. Retirement became anything but restful as he threw himself into creating two vineyards, a winery, and a small farm raising Red Angus cattle. Navigating an unpredictable and often unforgiving industry, he faced challenges that pushed him to adapt, reroute, and sometimes own up to his missteps. Through every trial, breakthrough, and hard-earned lesson, he offers honest reflections and the wisdom gathered along the way—and, of course, ends most days with a well-deserved toast to the journey.
