Everyone has a dream job. Hardy Wallace just happens to have a lot of people's dream job. The social media expert (and blogger at Atlanta's Dirty South Wine) was recently named the new lifestyle correspondent for Murphy-Goode Winery.
As one of his first stops on a barn-storming tour, Wallace hosts a cocktail hour at The American
tomorrow night. Attendees will be able to taste Murphy-Goode wines
(sauvignon blanc, sonoma chardonnay, sonoma merlot, sonoma cabernet
and liars dice zinfandel) and appetizers from Chef Debbie Gold's kitchen, including peeky toe crab
cake, bone marrow toast and braised beef meatballs. Wallace will also discuss how he came to his current post and talk a bit about the world of social media.
Jackson Family Wines, the owner of Murphy-Goode, announced the contest/promotional effort back in April and selected Wallace as the winner from more than 2,000 applicants in July. And sadly, despite Fat City's wishes, nobody from Kansas City was able to secure the "Really Goode Job."
As the lifestyle correspondent, Wallace gets to live in a "deluxe
private home in Sonoma County and be paid $10,000 a month for the next
six months, in order to spread the word on Murphy-Goode wines. And you
thought Twitter would never make anybody any money.
The
event begins at 5 p.m. Wallace is scheduled to talk at 5:45 p.m.
Tickets are $5 in advance, $10 at the door (although we've heard that if you use
the code word "Hardy," it's $5 at the door).
Even though he's
already started touring, Wallace's job doesn't officially start until
August 15. So, you've got five days to convince him he needs an
assistant.
