During the visit, Louis spent hours communicating his passion for the winemaking process to Gary. After that experience, Gary knew he wanted to become an expert, so he enrolled in the Sommelier Institute in New Jersey and at several of Windows on the World\\u2019s wine courses. That enthusiasm and knowledge served him well when he teamed up with his brother Mark in 1987 and opened his first store in Madison, New Jersey. After years of expansion, Gary\\u2019s now has several locations in New Jersey, as well as a flagship location in St. Helena, CA, right across the street from Louis Martini, where it all began for Gary.
