Wine IQ: How is a vintner different than a winery and vineyard? Vanessa Robledo, owner of Vintne’sr Diary, was gracious enough to explain the differences to me during our conversation at the inaugural La Onda music festival in Napa. A vintner grows the crop as well as produces and markets the wine. Whereas a vineyard only grows grapes and a winery produces wine. Those in the cheese world , may consider a vintner similar to a farmstead cheese. Vanessa clarified this distinction to me with great patience and knowledge as well as discussing her vision. Vintner’s Diary (Napa, CA) is a third generation female owned business. It is the only Latina vintner and produces a delightful Rose’, which continues to find its way on menus, in homes, and venues like La Onda. Vanessa explained the choice of the word Diary is specific to the story she is sharing. Wine and the food industry are paired closely and are a great example of how 1+1=3. Whether paired with cheese, fruit, or your favorite meal, Rose’ is flexible and versatile. Napa, Sonoma, or anyone of the other great wine producing regions across the USA, are great destinations to get to know the story and the people behind the wine. #vintnersdiary #laonda #wine #foodindustry @foodservicexpert.com
Dedication, quality, and building rapport still matters. Fine example of all 3!
Congrats on the growing opportunities to share your family story and the fruit from those vines.
And that is reflection of hard work , talent and perseverance 🥂
