Kirsten is joined by Julianne Brogden from Collaboration Wines in Hawkes Bay - a one-woman business where she crafts "fine wine in small batches from exceptional Hawke’s Bay vineyards". She started in the industry at 17 and has many vintages under her belt mainly here in New Zealand and in the USA. She spent 8 years over there and loved her life and work so much she worked herself to the point of complete exhaustion. Her body said "no more" and it took Julz a long time to recover. She still loves being a winemaker but is far more sensible now trying to find the perfect work-life balance. Especially now being the mother of a 2 year old bundle of energy.
