I'm a big fan of Mashable and TechCrunch and other outlets like that, but TechMeme obviously does an amazing job of aggregating.

I'm an entrepreneur first and a wine critic second.

I don't want anybody to not recognize how appreciative I am of the volume of e-mails I get.

True success - financial, personal, and professional - lies above all in loving your family, working hard, and living your passion. In telling your story. In authenticity, hustle, and patience. In caring fiercely about the big and the small stuff. In valuing legacy over currency.

Content is king, but context is God.

If there's a problem, we at Wine Library never tell ourselves that once we handle this issue, we'll never have to deal with the person again. We talk to every single person as though we're going to wind up sitting next to that person at his or her mother's house that night for dinner.

The problem is, we’re all using social networks as distribution instead of native platforms to actually tell stories.
