It is good to see that Steve is having success in a second career. I like the other couple from Roche also setting their sites on the future. My husband and I left medical lab sales about 10 years ago to invest in rental property and while it is has been tough the last few years, we have never looked back.

At 57, my event horizon differs from many of my colleagues here at Roche. Looking at retirement only short time in the future, my wife and I have started a new Winery here in Fishers, In. Yes, Fishers! I love my career here at Roche and enjoy what I do ,but realize it will not last forever and want to continue an active life afterward. We have always had a passion for wine and started making our own as amateurs in 2001. In 2004, we opened Grape Inspiration in Carmel, left it 2006 and now have opened Harmony Winery here in Fishers.We are a custom boutique winery where we produce 30 different fine wines from juice and pass on our passion to others by teaching them how to make their own wine in our winery This is our retirement and our second home. We work very hard at our careers and equally hard building our business for when that transition comes. We hope to continue to share our passion for wine for many years to come.<br />Brenda, thank you for a wonderful story. I hope it enlightens others to seek out their passions and "Follow that Dream"<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Kevin and Tatyana CroakHarmony Wineryhttp://www.harmonywinery.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4957503136630278393.post-7824464609187650252011-11-19T20:47:28.130-05:002011-11-19T20:47:28.130-05:00A very nice story, I get to Southern California se...A very nice story, I get to Southern California several times a year to visit grandchildren and never heard of this wine region. I am going to visit next time I am in the area in January. All you ever hear about is Napa & Sonoma, which is also lovely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
