Gary Vaynerchuk was born in Babruysk, U.S.S.R. (today Belarus) on November 14, 1975 and immigrated to the U.S. in 1978. From a platform as co-owner and Director of Operations of Wine Library, a wine retail shop in Springfield, New Jersey, Vaynerchuk gained widespread notoriety as the host of Wine Library TV, a daily internet webcast on the subject of wine. Vaynerchuk's informal, "hyperkinetic",^[1] and "disarmingly honest"^[2] style is in contrast to conservative wine industry norms, but resonates with a younger demographic and has found a significant following among groups who have previously found the wine-world inaccessible. He has been featured in The Wall Street Journal,^[3] GQ, and Time,^[4] appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Ellen,^[5] WLTV has been called "must-see underground TV"^[1], while Vaynerchuk himself has been described as "the first wine guru of the Web video era", and by Rob Newsom, a Washington State wine maker, "outside of Robert Parker, probably the most influential wine critic in the United States.".^[6] is the 52nd day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...
