There's always a wine bully. The one person who did read the 'Wine Spectator,' who tells you what to drink and why the '97 is better than the '98. I want to punch the wine bully in the face. I want to make sure this generation of wine drinkers isn't elitist and snotty. I want it to be about family and bringing people together.

From age 16, I lived and breathed wine. I read every magazine and book about wine.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a small business, or a Fortune 500 company, great marketing is all about telling your story in such a way that it compels people to buy what you are selling. That's a constant. What's always in flux, especially in this noisy, mobile world, is how, when, and where the story gets told, and even who gets to tell all of it.

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

You can't read about push ups. You gotta do them.

Effort is grossly underrated.

Best wine if you're stranded on a deserted island? 1982 Salon Champagne.
