Robert Mondavi Winery - A Place...I Never Chose

....Career I thought....was on a path Southern California life's destiny... Beaches mountains the whole of it ....Came crashing down around me Bankrupt abrupt from that bitter cup ....Having drunk its anguished brew Collapsing all my hopes and dreams .....The entire world.....I knew Answering a blind ad...still as sad .....Once knowing its pedigree Claim to fame meant not a thing ....Amidst sheer pain...and misery Finding myself in the Napa Valley ....Where....I had no plans to be World-renowned no joy I found ...Just another.....place to me Recalling the first day on the job .....My memory......crystal clear Asking Deity the troubling question "My God what am I doing here" But in time...It took some years.... One hundred-eighty degrees in fact I later came to adore and love ...Since then....no looking back * * ..................And now.... I find myself at this place .....I never chose Yet......could not have planned A more delightful life Than...with those Bewitching years I've known ..........At this place ................I never chose
