Since launching his career on Wall Street the same year as Gordon Gekko’s Hollywood debut, Jay Raffaldini decided to search for his future second act while riding the ups & downs of the market. This New York City business man set his eyes on the historic but now more lesser-known wine region of North Carolina to try his passion at producing something special & unique with his goal of making the best wine possible through his “house style” of Appassimento.
Not familiar with this Italian wine making method or the Italian native grapes grown at his estate? Listen to our A Wine Affair podcast episode with Raffaldini Vineyards to learn why the hot Carolina weather and Appalachian setting create a distinct foundation for his wine and AVA experience. Plus, you’ll hear more on what else they have planned for visitors & wine club members of all ages & wine preferences!
Test your own Italian pronunciation, and tune in for more about Jay & Raffaldini Vineyard’s other blockbuster moment when their wine was selected for President Obama’s White House dinner for the President of Italy’s 80th Birthday!
