Gary Vaynerchuk at Words Tonight

He's an expert on wine and so, so much more.

After all, impeccable taste in varietal grapes isn't going to translate into phenomenal retail success unless you know something about the business end of the bottle.

As owner of the much-patronized Wine Library in Springfield, Gary Vaynerchuk knows both.

Tonight at 7 p.m., he'll be sharing his expertise on entrepreneurship when he discusses his new book The Thank You Economy at Words Bookstore in Maplewood tonight. This book is summarized as, "How small town rules and humanized brands are the future of business."
