The Launch

For very first issue for AWR, I dedicate it to a good friend who has supported me through the best of my times and some of my lowest.

This is, in my own way, my way of expressing my gratitude. Through the work that I do, that also helps his.

Having launched and managed several businesses by now, I had thought that the adrenaline (and stress) would get easier. But it did not.

Xavier inspires me because in a way, I think we are both trying to express our identity through the work that we do. This issue I write about those who inspire me, and are on the same journey as we are.

Wine is a beautiful journey to be in, because of the people we meet along the way. And that includes, you, who have been supporting us and reading this very first issue.

Thank you and I hope to meet you in person very soon.
