It is the next step in a journey that began with a dream and has never stopped moving forward.”

Sir Gary was subsequently awarded the title of Knight of Winery Excellence by the Chancellor Grand Master of the Monaco Chancery in recognition of his contributions to the global wine community.granting him the “Sir” Title.
Beyond wine, Sir Gary is the founder of Wasa Water in Wisconsin, former President of the Sino-American Chamber of Commerce, and founder of the Global Hero Foundation, a nonprofit based in Flushing, New York.
