Gary Vaynerchuk Book Signing SF

Tonight, the San Francisco Bay Area was treated to the arrival of wine expert and author of the new book Crush It, Gary Vaynerchuk. If you don’t know Gary, here’s basically what he’s famous for:

For several years now, Vaynerchuk has helped grow his family business into a multi-million dollar yearly business dealing in wine. He’s the host of Wine Library TV, a renowned keynote speaker at most tech and social media conferences, co-founder of Vaynermedia, Cork’d, and is also involved in Obsessed.tv. And he’s heavily involved in social media and always on the lookout to help people move beyond their daily lives and do what they’re passionate about…hence the name of his book: Crush It.

In this nearly 40 city tour, Vaynerchuk is heading out to meet his fans and to promote the success of Crush It which has just been placed on the bestseller’s list in the New York Times & Wall Street Journal. Fans that attended were treated to hearing insights from Vaynerchuk about why he wrote the book and even got to ask him questions about how they could release their passion and go out and become successful like him.

Here are some more photos from the event:

Gary Vaynerchuk rocks! This is one of my favorite pictures of him…

It’s a little late, but in this case, late is definitely better than never…

Gary Vaynerchuk is amazing and one of those truly special people in life that we’re all better off for knowing.

Garyvee was recently in town celebrating a very special milestone, his 500th episode of WineLibraryTVCrushPad in San Francisco hosted the momentous taping at its San Francisco crushing and storage facility. And, since they were pulling together the local wine and geek communities, they also invited a series of incredible wineries to keep our glasses filled in  celebration of Gary and his achievements.

Congrats Gary, you deserve everything you’ve worked so hard to earn! You’re a inspiration to us all!

I’d also like to thank Erik Kastner who was kind enough to lend me his camera that night as my battery gave out shortly before arriving.

I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story:
