Gary Vaynerchuk’s 500th Show in SF

*Gary Vaynerchuk, enfant terrible of the wine world, raconteur extraordinaire, and now a published author, will be coming to San Francisco to film the 500th episode of his wildly popular Wine Library TV series. His participation is part of a larger tasting event in honor of his fans to take place in The Golden Gate Room, Fort Mason, on July 10th between the hours of 6 p.m. and Midnight. The event is expected to fill quickly. No more than 300 people may attend. There will also be a number of carefully selected wineries present.
Information about the event may be found on the WLTV SF Event thread and here.
In the interest of full disclosure, the event is being planned by two long-time WLTV viewers, both contributors to this blog. (In fact, we held the first party last year in the Fire House at Fort Mason.) I cannot speak for my collegues here at Reign of Terroir but it is safe to say my wine education was greatly accelerated by Mr. Vaynerchuk. Further, to meet him in person is a pleasure. He’ll talk to anyone about anything. To say that he is a people person is rather like saying Pavarotti was only a singer! Perhaps he may be forgiven for loving the New York Jets, but apart from that singular flaw, as great as it is, he is a delightful guy. A real gentleman.
For those unfamiliar with his show please visit here. Oh, let me hasten to add his right hand man, Chris Mott, celebrated in his own way, will also be joining in the festivities.
