Our company went to the Harpoon Brewery to take in the 5:30 club experience. Appearing are Graham “Thirsty Chicken” Nelson, Amy Moriarty and Allen & Gerritsen’s CEO (and martini man) Andrew Graff.

The treat was talking to Jules the bartender. He is highly knowledgeable about the products and process.

The best part is how I talk about not talking about the finish, right after I talk about the finish. What I meant is that I do not refer to a finish as “lingering, crisp, sweet or dry”. I use language that you and I care about, not beerspeak that no one understands.

I interview some of the attendees of the @NomX3 event with Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library at The Estate in Boston.

I spoke with Derek Peplau, Derek Wilmot, Thomas “Coolest Man on the Internet” Edwards, Rachel Happe, Jeff Cutler, Christine Major, Brian Donovan, Margot Bloomstein and more to get their opinions on Gary’s message and the wine.

If you missed the event, don’t worry, Brilliant Video captured the whole thing for NomX3.
