Dino Capriotti Bio from the Vinity Website
Vinity Wine Company’s intimate relationship with the world of Italian wine is rooted in the background of our company’s President and driving force-Dino Capriotti. It was in his family’s vineyard in the Medieval, coastal town of Offida, Italy that Dino Capriotti first developed his love for wines that express unique regional qualities. He carried this passion from his native Marche region with him throughout his first career as a successful restaurateur in Europe and later in the United States, carefully selecting the finest wines for patrons at prices that delighted. In 1986, Dino fell in love with the San Francisco Bay Area and decided to begin a new career in the wholesale wine industry. His great knowledge of wines made him an immediate success. Dino brings to Vinity Wine Company more than a decade of experience in the business, including eight years as owner and partner of a respected fine wine distributor. In Dino Capriotti, you will find one of our industry’s most dynamic personalities-a trusted and reliable businessman who understands the demanding, ever-changing California marketplace. His enthusiasm for sharing his knowledge of fine wines is infectious-only one of the reasons why many wine professionals consider Dino to be one of the best in the business.

May 15 - Campania
Innovative and charismatic, Bruno De Conciliis is one of the most respected winemakers is Campania. Working in the relatively unknown Cilento zone on the southern coast of Campania, Bruno makes a wide range of wines, from typical and accessible versions of Fiano and Aglianico to wild, philosophical experimentations in sparkling wine and traditional, “natural” techniques. A dynamic and engaging presence, Bruno is a tireless promoter, avid jazz lover, careful winemaker, and a natural host.
While in Italy, Jon spent time at the De Conciliis vineyard and has created a menu inspired by the dinner he enjoyed with the winemaker and his family.
Please join us for an evening of Campanian food and wine.
