valleywag: “stormhoek is the official drink of the [silicon] valley alcoholic”

I see Dave Par­met has been busy. From Valley­wag:

“It can’t be a 90s bub­ble party without Abso­lut,” says Dot-com mar­ke­ter David Par­met. “Could we say Stormhoek is the new Abso­lut?” With mar­ke­ting blog­ger Hugh Mac­Leod pim­ping this wine in the Valley through bran­ded prints, blog­ging, and spon­so­red geek din­ners, Stormhoek is the offi­cial drink of the Valley alcoholic.

Dave and I go back a ways. He did some really inc­re­di­ble stuff for English Cut.

  1. So you/he are not as thunk as drin­kle peeps am I?

  2. Ben Blench says:

    Shu­rely shome mish­take?
    Should be “val-coholic”, no?

  3. The article on the evo­lu­tion of English Cut has to be one of the most ins­pi­ring things I have read since..er…the last time I read something ins­pi­ra­tio­nal. Which is too long ago to remem­ber!
    It is truly awe­some Hugh!
    Thanks
