Gary started working at his father’s retail wine and spirit store in Springfield, New Jersey, since he was a teenager. Within a 5-year time period, when he took over the store as the solewine buyer in his last year of college in 1996, it grew from a $4 million to a $45 million business.

He is now co-owner and director of operations, but he is best known as the creator of Wine Library TV’s “The Thunder Show,” which was launched in February 2006. He has rated hundreds of wines on this show, and due to his highly accessible, energetic, enthusiastic and unorthodox style has an audience of over 90,000 on this site.
