Mark Oldman (born Mark Stanford Oldman, January 5, 1969) is an American entrepreneur and wine writer.[1] He is the wine expert for Pottery Barn, and wine columnist for the Food Network. Oldman was called the "ideal mix of wine connoisseur, showman, and everyday dude" by Publishers Weekly and his approach was described as "wine speak without the geek" by Bon Appétit.[2] He has twice won the Georges Duboeuf Best Wine Book of the Year Award.[3]

Oldman received his B.A. and M.A. in English from Stanford University, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa.

In 2010, Oldman released Oldman’s Brave New World of Wine, published by W.W. Norton, which discusses newly available wines,[6] including the wine picks of oenophiles such as Jodie Foster, Hilary Swank, Antonio Banderas, John Lithgow, and Guy Fieri.[7]

Oldman's Brave New World of Wine won the 2011 Georges Duboeuf Best New Wine Book of the Year Award.[3] Mediabistro.com wrote of Oldman's book deal with Norton.[8]

In 2005 Oldman wrote Oldman’s Guide to Outsmarting Wine, published by Penguin Books and winner of the Georges Duboeuf Best Wine Book Award.[9] It is currently in its tenth printing.[citation needed]

In 1997 Oldman and his friend Samer Hamadeh founded Vault.com, a website that provides career information by industry and by Fortune 1000 company, as well as company and firm rankings on employers such as Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, and Google.[21] He served as president of Vault.com until its sale in 2007 to a private equity firm.[22] Along with cofounders H.S. “Sam” Hamadeh and Samer Hamadeh, Oldman won Crain’s Top Entrepreneur's Award,[23] the Harvard Business School Club’s Entrepreneur of the Year,[24] and the Silicon Valley 100: The Internet's 100 Most Influential Executives.[25]
