Our local Atlanta wine funkmeister, Hardy Wallace, who won the now infamous Wine Country Lifestyle Correspondent Challenge and just completed his 6-month stint at Murphy-Goode has moved on to realize his wine-dreams. And in true Hardy style, it’s going to get Funky!
Two announcements have been made today in which Hardy will be shacked up at Michel-Schlumberger and literally living with the livestock since he had to move out of the bumpin’ bungalow near downtown Healdsburg once the Murphy Goode gig was over. In return for rent, he’ll work on some marketing content and social media projects for the winery. Click here for the press release.
His ultimate new home, however, will be The NPA or Natural Process Alliance, who make only about 800 cases of wine a year and are dedicated to responsible farming, minimalistic winemaking and transparency for consumers. This is not a surprise to those of us who know Hardy, because the NPA is known for making some good, funky juice and Hardy has said that all along. I believe he has found his calling and his home. Follow Hardy in his new role on twitter at @theNPAhardy or on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/TheNPA
Congratulations to Hardy and good luck to your future endeavors. As always, we are all watching.
Cheers!
Thanks Ed!!! THis is going to be the shizzz!!!
