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.

The best way to support gapingvoid is to sign up to "Hugh's Daily Frickin' Cartoon" Newsletter. A new cartoon sent out every weekday morning to your inbox [RSS version here.]. A wee chuckle to start your day off right etc.

    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
