Lloyd Benedict on Gary Vaynerchuk’s 101 Wines
Gary Vaynerchuk.
I admit, I never would have recognized this name two years ago. But in two very short years (perhaps less) this name and the wine-infused, palate-drenching, non-traditional approach to wine his name symbolizes has had an infectious effect on wine consumers world wide. I had the pleasure of meeting Gary just before the wild fire was set and ever since the first Wine 2.0 event my appreciation and respect for Gary has grown tremendously.
Gary would be the first to admit that he’s not a Rhodes scholar and didn’t study English at Oxford, and as you might guess, neither have I. He chose video as his medium because he is raw, unrefined, reactionary, and as in your face “Jersey” as it gets.
