Before Retirement, Vance Petrunoff Was Selling Bulgarian Wines from Sonoma, CA

Finally, I had a chance to see Chicago, work and play in this very impressive city that has eluded me for the 27 years that I have spent in the US. Well, better late than never. On top of it all, my pal, Miro, who is the consultant to the VINI brand, was at the same show pouring his and Trentadue wines. VINI impressed the knowledgable customers in Chicago and I made important contacts with some of the best stores and restaurants in the area. The Union League Club in Chicago owns substantial art collection and hosts monthly exhibits, events, fundraisers, etc. Bellow are some interesting portraits from the 3rd floor.

I have been talking with Dr. Marshall Stearn PhD about web presence and Internet marketing. Very enlightening conversation.  

California Photographer Vance Petrunoff Captures the Essence of “Occupy”

The China room of the Smith Building overlooks the City and all we had great time. The VINI wines are selling extremely well in the State of Washington, thanks to our fantastic distributor and his team. This is the view on a sunny day and we had one. I had to visit Occupy Seattle - I am now unofficial photographer of Occupy.

The tasting was great success since two venerable NY clubs took VINI for their by the glass programs. NY was beautiful and I used the new over the water air tramway from Roosevelt Island. I couldn't resist and visited Zuccotti park where the Occupy Wall St. movement just started camping and snapped a lot of photos .

Working in Denver has a great meaning to me, here I started my new life in the US 26 years ago. My first Jazz Club in America revisited - and it is great as it was. Great hangout, good baklava Sea Horse above Denver
