"I moved to Delaware 3 1/2 years ago from Massachusetts for a job.  I'm not a New Englander, I actually grew up in Texas.  I left Texas over 20 years ago, lived in Washington DC for many years as well. My full time job is at Nemours Estate where I manage the tours and public programs. I've always worked in museums, but my first love was theatre!!  I grew up in the theatre performing --singing, dancing, and acting...one day I plan to get back into it. Another hobby of mine is furniture flipping. I used to have a small furniture flipping business in MA, so I'm working on restoring a 19th century piece of furniture.  It's a challenge, but it has been keeping me distracted!"

"During this crazy time we're in, I also keep very busy working from home with my full time job.   I live alone so I'm taking advantage of ZOOM when I can so I can actually talk to someone.  My two cats are very limited in their conversational skills...but they try!  I cook for myself every day, but I treat myself to take out once a week to help support the local businesses.  When I cook it's not usually very fancy, but I am working on a few new recipes."
"I've always liked wine and really started appreciating it when I was an art student in Florence.  I also took a class in Paris one summer and while there I discovered how great Rosé can be! Although at that time, I chose my wines based on how pretty the label was. I'd be lying if I don't still do that sometimes now, haha"
"I started at PWW in August, and although I feel like I know only a fraction of what there is to know, it's a wonderful place to learn and grow.  I wanted to work there part time because although I have a full time job, I needed to expand my circle in this area.  I wanted to meet new people, but learn something and have fun too.  PWW has checked all those boxes!!  It's beautiful, the wine is fabulous and so are the people! I can't say I have a favorite wine, but I am a big fan of our Chambourcin and Chardonnay.  Oh, and yes the Rosé too!"

"A couple of years ago, I volunteered to help harvest grapes at a winery in Massachusetts.  I went back another time to help out with the bottling part of wine making.  I enjoyed learning more about the process from beginning to end, although the actual wine making part was missing.  One of the things I really enjoy about working at Penns Woods is the management is very encouraging to all of us, and wants us to learn as much as we can about the wines.  How lucky are we?"
We are the lucky ones to have staff members such as Paula who are so eager to constantly learn more! Cheers to you, Paula!!
