Yes, you CAN get paid to drink: The Best Job in the WORLD awaits you

 

Turns out there's another "BEST JOB IN THE WORLD", so for all of you people who applied for the six months of blogging and caretaking on the islands of the Great Barrier Reef, have no fear, another opportunity awaits you!

If drinking wine all day in Sonoma County on the gorgeous coast of Northern California all the while chronicling your experience through Twitter, Facebook and living rent-free sounds like a good deal to you, then read on.

The Murphy-Goode Winery wants YOU to tell the world about their wines, Sonoma Wine Country and what it's like to live there. The best part, you aren't just getting paid in glasses of Cabernet, but you'll make a "modest" 10,000 a month for six months. Have you packed your bags and quit your job yet?? I'm certainly thinking about it.

If you're a social media WHIZ KID, a wine lover, a blogger, you use social-networking sites and are over 21 years of age you can apply by submitting a video 60 seconds or less. That's right; you have to "wow" them straight out of the gate. Show them that you're the BEST person for the job, your personality and skill must shine through! Application close by June 5th, so get crackin'!!!

For all you know, you could be living in a beautiful home on a vineyard by August 1st, you'll be drinking in both literally and figuratively the beauty of Wine County and the art of wine making and viticulture. Yes, seriously.

Best job in the world? I think so.

This is a total copy cat of Queensland Tourism. Can't you come up with an original idea?

Wow, even if this is a bit copy-cat-ish, it's pretty spectacular. Super fun!

May 1, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterKim Mance

Oh my oh my! This is absolutely dreamy! Now I am wondering how I can convince a winery here on the Amalfi Coast to pay me to drink their wines and write about it. :-)
