My Friend Hardy Wallace is Good -- Murphy Goode

Or at least he should be.

In case you hadn't heard about it, Murphy-Goode Winery in Healdsburg, California is looking for a wine-loving social media guru to help them. The winner of this little contest will receive a 6-month job paying $10,000 per month plus accommodations. To earn that money, the winner will:

• Explore the vineyards of Murphy-Goode and surrounding areas and discover what the Sonoma County Wine Country has to offer, from well-known destinations to off-the-beaten-path spots.
• Taste hundreds of wines and meet the locals in their tasting room.
• Increase their wine wisdom. While studying isn’t required, our winemaking and vineyard experts will take the time to show you how it’s all done.
• Work with winemaker, David Ready, Jr., to create a new wine commemorating your job with us.
• File reports on your experiences, via weekly blogs, photo diaries, Twitter, Facebook, video updates and ongoing media interviews.

The most important part of the job application is a 60 second video that must be uploaded to YouTube, and that is where my friend, Hardy Wallace of DirtySouthWine comes in. He's applied for the gig with the video above. Check it out.

I'd hire Hardy in a heartbeat.

If Hardy doesn't win this gig, then there is a problem! I went into a wine store the other night and came out w/ a bottle of Murphy Goode Chardonnay. The ONLY reason was because I remembered watching his audition video. He is awesome and has the experience to take this winery to the next level! The wine was horrid, but I still think having an expert in social media and wine such as Hardy can turn this winery around!!!
