In the hands of a skilled businessperson, wine becomes a power tool for achieving multiple goals.
What’s the real secret to success in business? Certainly, you have to do a great job. But there’s a lot more to it than that.
Equally necessary is ensuring your client or customer feels valued. Doing a perfectly adequate job covers only a part of this requirement.
Effective, memorable, first-rate entertainment, provided by a person with top-notch skills, supplies a missing ingredient that helps ensure client satisfaction, as the nearly two dozen case histories in this book show.
As one famous restaurateur has said, “…nothing else is as important as how one is made to feel in any business transaction.”
Wine for Businesspeople 100: The Case for Wine offers powerful examples of individuals who have integrated strategic entertainment concepts into their business-development and customer-relations practices and achieved high levels of personal effectiveness and business success.
Other individuals, untrained in entertaining with wine, failed to measure up to expectations when conducting business. They undermined their sales efforts or created less-than-ideal impressions among prospects, clients, customers and associates in situations that relied as much on entertainment skills as business skills.

Excited to hear more about what you have to say, Mr. Libby. Of course as a wine professional I agree and hope more businesspeople begin to invest in learning how to appreciate wine. After all, it is perhaps the most pleasurable of educational endeavors. Cheers!
