Gary Vaynerchuk’s dad bought a small store to house the Wine Library in Springfield in 1982. Vaynerchuk’s father rebuilt a bigger building for the Wine Library in 1989 and the most recent renovation was done in 2003. Vaynerchuk started getting involved in the family business in 1990 when he was around 15 years old. The move wasn’t much of a decision according to Vaynerchuk. “My dad dragged me into the liquor store,” he said. “First generation, oldest son … there were no decisions.”
