Name It after the Grapes
Some people name their wine after the type of grapes they use to make it. This lets the buyer know a little more about the flavor and can make the name seem more fitting. You can also use words that describe the grapes as a part of your name to make it more authentic.

Name It after the Region
Many wines are named after the region they are grown in. This not only gives people information about your wine, but it can also give it a unique name. Just make sure the name you choose is not already taken. There are many wines and few regions where grapes are grown.

Name It after Your Family
Many wineries are handed down through the family and are named after families or family members. Think about a way to incorporate your family’s name into the name of your wine. This will also give you something unique to pass down to your own family.

If you own a winery like David Gianulias, you may need to name the wines you produce.  If you are struggling to come up with a name for your wine, consider the tips above and don’t be afraid to get creative.

David Gianulias - Starting A Winery

The Right Location

Grapes won’t grow in some conditions so make sure you choose vineyard locations for your winery that will allow the grapes to grow healthy. Certain grapes grow better in certain climates so do you research and choose a location that is right for the type of grapes you plan to grow.

The Right Grapes

Certain grapes are used to make certain types of wine. Make sure you are familiar with the varietals and know what grapes you need to grow to make the wines you intend to make at your winery.

The Right Plan


Growing grapes and making wine may be your dream, but you have to have a business plan in order to make your winery a success and keep your business going. Make sure you have a strong business and marketing plan before you open your winery. Almost anyone with some financial support can create a winery to make wine, but selling your wines and to have customers purchase again and again is the key to it all.  Operating a winery can be a great way to make money if you have the patience for a minimum of 5 years and owning your own business can be very fulfilling. David Gianulias has found success as a winery owner and if you consider the above tips, you may too.

Critically Acclaimed Levendi Winery

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.

David Gianulias

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.

Skiing For Children

Skiing is a fun way to exercise and have fun at the same time. Many skiers become parents, and then want to pass on their love of the slopes to their little ones. David Gianulias, a very successful business man from Orange County California, learned to ski at the tender age of two, and has been hitting the slopes frequently ever since.

David Gianulias

There are a few things you need to consider before you get out on the slopes with your little ones. First, be sure that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather. Just because the temperature is mild when you head out doesn’t mean it can’t change into a blustery snow storm in just a few minutes. Make sure your child is wearing multiple layers, with insulating under layers and a waterproof outer layer.

Of course, make sure that your child is wearing a ski helmet. This is a vital part of skiing, making sure that your child is safe while they go through the learning process. Also make sure they have properly fitting boots, skis and binders. If any of these things do not fit, it can make learning to ski difficult or even impossible. Do not give your child poles right away, as it can inhibit their ability to learn how to turn properly.

Make skiing fun for your child! Don’t let them think of it as a chore. Let them see your enthusiasm for the sport and be positive and encouraging. Skiing can be difficult for little one, but if you make it fun and reward them with praise and positive reinforcement, they may just pick it up in no time.

Fallen Officers

Every day, police officers in various capacities put their lives on the line in order to serve and protect their fellow Americans. The law is upheld by these brave men and women who do a job few could do, by staring danger in the face and deciding it’s worth it, for the greater good.

David Gianulias

Sometimes, these honorable officers lose their lives in the line of duty. When that happens, families are left behind with immeasurable grief and financial burden. David Gianulias, CEO and President of G Companies, as well as Founder and President of Levendi Winery, understands the need for a safety net for families of fallen officers.

That’s why Gianulias supports the CHP 11-99 Foundation. The CHP (California Highway Patrol) 11-99 Foundation is an organization that give emergency benefits for the families of wounded or fallen officers. 11-99 is the code given for “Officer in need of assistance,” and it exemplifies what CHP 11-99 is all about.

Through memberships, various community events and kindhearted individuals and businesses, CHP 11-99 has been able to give support to the families of officers who have been injured or killed in the line of duty, like the family of Officer Kenyon M. Youngstrom who was shot to death during a traffic stop. He was survived by his wife and four children who were able to receive help from CHP 11-99 in honor of their father.

These brave men and women do their job to keep the peace and protect the people. By donating to CHP 11-99 or similar foundations in your area, you give a small portion back to the families of those officers who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
