Gary at SixApart

I already wrote about Gary V and how much his passion for "real & good" is changing the way people (especially in the US) are approaching wine.

Yesterday evening, Gary paid us a visit at SixApart. Of course, wine was involved. A lot of wine actually! But mainly, it was all about listening to Gary explaining to us why good will always win vs evil.

We had a huge crowd of folks who came to our offices, from SixApart, and also from other companies. For more than 2 hours, everybody was so focused and captivated by the energy of our guest. It was quite incredible.

Gary touched a whole variety of topics, from how global warming is affecting the wine world, to why building a personal brand is key in today's business world. All this, by staying true to one of his main value: being real. That's why so many people love him.

Thanks Gary for a fabulous talk!

Gary, changing the wine world

By now, you all know I'm a huge wine fan. And I'm also a tech geek. So it is very naturally that I got to follow Gary, from the Winelibrary. This guy is just awesome. Passionate, expert, fun, natural, he's one of those guys who are changing the world. He says he's changing the wine world. But i say he's changing the world. If people spend more time enjoying wine, they'll take themselves less seriously and it will all be for the best. That's the whole purpose of food & wine. Good food, good wine, good company. Peace.

So yesterday, Gary twittered he was going to be in San Francisco at a bar. The minute we saw this, we knew we would go there. And we did. I met the man! It's like meeting your biggest idol. So cool! (See the picture of my wife with Gary!)

If you haven't followed tv.winelibrary.com, you should. Do it now. Don't wait. It may change the way you approach wine. What? You're still ready this? Don't you get it?

You will finally hear someone talking about wine in simple terms. Talking the language of people who buy wine, and not the language of people who sell wine. That's because it's passion talking. It comes from the heart. That's what makes Gary such a big personality on the Internet.
