Quite simply, it was the love of these two things which led us to create Vinavanti.
We've long enjoyed cooking and enjoying wine with our meals. However, finding wines that were good, reasonably priced, and went well with food has always been a challenge. Finally, one day, we decided it was time to create them ourselves.
We create each of our wines by first choosing the food we want the wine to pair well with. We then actually prepare the food, blend the wine, and sample them together... and blend, and sample, and eat... and blend, and sample, and eat. Until we finally have a wine that really makes the meal better. It's tough work, but somebody's got to do it!
It's because of this process that all of our wines are proprietary blends, with a unique name for each. We believe in good food, good wine, and good company. We hope we can be part of yours.
Sincerely,
Eric Van Drunen, Vintner
