In fact, some of the most famous faces in wine come from international territories.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s some of those people that we\u2019re going to quickly <strong>profile<\/strong> in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Personality #1 \u2013 Gary Vaynerchuk<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, most people know <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Gary Vaynerchuk (si apre in una nuova scheda)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gary_Vaynerchuk\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Gary Vaynerchuk<\/strong><\/a> as a business growth experts and personal branding master. If you\u2019re an entrepreneur yourself, you\u2019ve probably come across his writing, his videos, and the huge following that he has during your research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as Vaynerchuk is quick to tell people, his entire persona comes from his love of wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His rise to acclaim started with his father\u2019s liquor store. As he matured, Vaynerchuk took the reins of the store and became one of the first to take advantage of the <strong>emerging online domain to sell wines and other types of alcohol<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who knows? Without him you may not have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"xtraWine (si apre in una nuova scheda)\">xtraWine<\/a> in its current form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As his business empire began to boom, Vaynerchuk expanded onto other platforms. He was one of the first to truly turn <em><strong>YouTube<\/strong><\/em> to his advantage and it is on the <strong>video sharing<\/strong> site that he was able to cultivate his <strong>reputation<\/strong> as a wine lover and expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.xtrawine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1-8-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20375\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Vaynerchuk doesn\u2019t dedicate as much of his career to wine as he may want to these days. But he\u2019s still an expert with a <strong>true passion<\/strong> for the industry. The simple fact is that you can\u2019t deny the influence that he has, particular amongst his primarily American audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Personality #2 &#8211; Robert M. Parker, Jr.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While Gary Vaynerchuk may have done more than most to bring the world of wine to the masses, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Robert M. Parker, Jr (si apre in una nuova scheda)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Robert_M._Parker_Jr.\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Robert M. Parker, Jr<\/strong><\/a>. is a true <strong>icon<\/strong> of the industry. That\u2019s particularly the case in the United States. However, his highly-educated tastebuds have led to him becoming one of the global industry\u2019s most respected and revered critics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The simple fact of the matter is that a seal of approval from Parker, Jr. is enough to put any wine on the map. If he says that it\u2019s the real deal, you can guarantee that the winery attached to the bottle <strong>gains almost instant prestige<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"508\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.xtrawine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20372\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>His prized possessions are his nose and his palette. And people recognise the value of both to the point where he\u2019s able to insure them to the tune of $1 million!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond this, he\u2019s the founder of&nbsp;<em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The Wine Advocate (si apre in una nuova scheda)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Wine_Advocate\" target=\"_blank\">The Wine Advocate<\/a><\/em>, which is one of the world\u2019s most influential critical newsletters. He also <strong>created a 100-point wine rating score<\/strong> that has become one of the standards in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anybody who\u2019s seen how the xtraWine team rates wines will notice a little of Parker, Jr.\u2019s influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s now <em>semi-retired<\/em>, having handed over control of&nbsp;<em>The Wine Advocate<\/em>to another respected expert in Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW. But he still gives his opinions regularly and there are few that those who are in the know trust more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/collections\/wines?filter.p.m.xtrawine.awardsListFilter=Robert+Parker+90%2B\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Discover the Parker's best rated products on xtraWine!

But he\u2019s real importance comes from the fact that he\u2019s the <em><strong>Head of Wine Buying<\/strong><\/em> at the supermarket chain <em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Waitrose_%26_Partners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Waitrose (si apre in una nuova scheda)\">Waitrose<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"573\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.xtrawine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1-6-1024x573.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20368\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You may wonder why a supermarket executive would garner such respect in the wine industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s simple. If there\u2019s ever been such a thing as a <strong>luxury supermarket<\/strong>, Waitrose is it. It\u2019s where the affluent and the elite go to shop in the UK. And as such, its <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.xtrawine.com\/en\/how-to-pick-the-right-italian-wine-from-a-near-infinite-selection\/\">wine selection<\/a> competes with some of the most prestigious wine vendors in the country. They\u2019re all targeting the same market, which means the entire industry stands up and takes notice when <strong>Petrassi<\/strong> makes a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s a <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Master_of_Wine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Master of Wine (si apre in una nuova scheda)\">Master of Wine<\/a><\/em><\/strong> in his own right. But he\u2019s also built a team of people who have achieved the same designation. This has led to the creation of a team that\u2019s capable of building a thoughtful selection of wines that range from some of the best the Italian wine industry has to offer through to little-known selections from some of the world\u2019s smaller industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that he\u2019d not accountable to major shareholders or those with their fingers in the money pot makes his opinions even more valuable. He\u2019d unrestricted in terms of what he can select and he\u2019s doing a fine job of making <em>Waitrose<\/em> one of the <strong>UK\u2019s top wine vendors<\/strong>, despite the fact that it\u2019s technically a supermarket chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Personality #4 \u2013 Antonio Galloni<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We mentioned&nbsp;<em>The Wine Advocate<\/em> earlier and any regular readers from a few years ago are sure to recognise the name <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Antonio_Galloni\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Antonio Galloni (si apre in una nuova scheda)\">Antonio Galloni<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could almost consider him a <em>prot\u00e9g\u00e9<\/em> of Robert Parker, Jr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Galloni made his name as one of the tasting staff members at&nbsp;<em>The Wine Advocate<\/em>, where his keen senses soon won him the respect of the international wine community.
