Levendi Winery has ten generations and hundreds of years of knowledge
and experience in wine-making. This history and ability are
concentrated and funneled into a high-quality, unique and delicious
wine. Levendi Winery was founded in 2001 by David Gianulias, alongside
his father James Gianulias, and Todd Rustman, a close friend of the
family.
Right away, there was success when famed chef Wolfgang Puck obtained wine from them for not just his flagship restaurant Spago, but for all his restaurants and locations. Because the brand became popular with high class winos, Levendi Winery gained its own attention. Now, Levendi Winery wines are highly sought after and well-respected in the space of not so many years.
One of the reasons for the success of Levendi Winery can be attributed not only to the hundreds of years of the Gianulias Greek wine-making tradition, but to Allison Doran, the winemaker at Levendi. Formerly a student of the legendary Andre Tchelistcheff, the wines created by Doran and Levendi Winery are consistently receiving accolades and awards. Doran herself has over thirty years of high class wine-making experience.
Levendi is a Greek word, which loosely translated means “a toast to life.” Levendi Winery produces both a lovely Chardonnay and a great Cabernet Sauvignon.
Though Levendi Winery is a relatively small producer at this point in time, their wines are part of the Gold Medal Wine Club. With the current reviews and nothing below 90 and above marks for their wine portfolio, the future of Levendi Winery seems very bright indeed.
