Saturday night was an eventful night for the Houston creative community.  Not only were we celebrating the grand opening of Caroline Collective but we were also raising our glasses at The Corkscrew with Gary Vaynerchuk.  Gary had an insane traveling schedule this past week.  I believe he had some 7 flights in 7 days!  Recently, Gary has been flying coast to coast for his book tour, the Houston Food & Wine Week, SEED conference in Chicago and even the Bravo TV awards show in New York.  Houston was very lucky that Gary fit us into his hectic schedule despite all the traveling and consecutive nights of little sleep.  The man is a machine!  More importantly though, all of us who got to share a conversation or two with Gary were blessed to experience his incredible energy and passion for life and true happiness.  Gary is more than just a wine guy.  He is a great guy who infects everyone he meets with a euphoric impression.  After meeting with Gary, you can’t help but to think how well he has branded himself.  I think there is a lot more in stored for Gary Vaynerchuk beyond his wine business, daily video blog or any future book deals.  Gary has many more mediums to conquer and many more unsuspecting fans to win over.

If you get a chance, go visit Gary while he’s on his book tour.  I promise you will walk away extremely fulfilled by the experience as I was.  Here’s a video of Gary addressing his supporters at The Corkscrew last night.  I don’t know one person who walked away from the party last night who wasn’t, at the very least, intrigued by his genuine desire to personally meet all of those who came out to support him.  Houston thanks you, Gary!  We hope you enjoyed it just as much as we did.
