John Nese is to soda pop what Gary Vaynerchuk is to wine
John Nese is the proprietor of Galcos Soda Pop Stop in LA. His father ran it as a grocery store, and when the time came for John to take charge, he decided to convert it into the ultimate soda-lovers destination. About 500 pops line the shelves, sourced lovingly by John from around the world.
John has made it his mission to keep small soda-makers afloat and help them find their consumers. Galcos also acts as a distributor for restaurants and bars along the West Coast, spreading the gospel of soda made with cane sugar (no high-fructose corn syrup if John can avoid it). His store is here on the Internet.
For comparison, Gary is at http://www.winelibrary.tv. John is older and has a calmer presentation style, but his passion erupts as he speaks. He is what Gary will be with age.
