About Us
We are Robert & Marianne Taitano of Wine-Fi.com we are working on an elaborate "About Us" but after several versions we figured might as well tell you "About Us" the people behind the name, since we're real people like you. Otherwise I wouldn't have much different to put under Products/Services.
In 2005 we were Wine tasting in Monterey County and we saw these particular Wine Glasses in Chateau Julien's tasting room that tickled my fancy and started collecting that particular grape cluster design. I noticed that not all the Wineries carried that design so my collecting was far and in between. 2006 I was still collecting these bit by bit and thought to myself "If I like them there's bound to be others too. I could start a web site and all those fun items you'd find in a Tasting Room."
End of '06 we started, researching Web Hosts, payment options, coming up with a business name, researching domain names etc. To be honest the first domain name I selected and bought really sucked, "waitermorewineplease", good song lousy web site name. I started looking though Wine Magazines and the like and came across a little blurb from a tasting room saying "bring your wireless laptop to the tasting room, taste some wines and Wine-Fi. There it was the perfect domain name "Wine-Fi"!
So, we launched Wine-Fi.com in April 2007 as an e-commerce Business-to-consumer site. Worked a description for the site and finally settle on "Wine Accessories, Wine Decor for Home, Kitchen, Cellars, Garden and Parties."
Now the Wife and I had plans to sell Gift baskets w/Wine albeit the ABC said not without a store front. Bummer fine then "Wine Accessories, Wine Decor for Home, Kitchen, Cellars, Garden and Parties. Everything but the Wine!"
In June of 2007 meeting guest speaker Louis Lucas of "Lucas & Lewellen Vineyards" at a "WineNationTV.com" event hosted by Ricardo Kanakari, the brief conversation lead into "Can you make Clocks out of Wine Barrels and what else can you do ?". Needless to say Wine-Fi.com is in the Clock making business along with other unique and one of a kind Wine Barrel Decor items.
July 2009 was the start of a very special relationship with Red Feather Winery in Livermore, Ca. Invited as a vendor to a benefit for Breast Cancer, Connie Davis was impressed with the variety of accessories and the Wine Barrel Decor I had been making. This lead to supplying her Tasting Room with Accessories.
During 2010 we expanded into making our own Wine Related Jewelry and Embroidered Wine Apparel and custom designs for Red Feather Winery.
We have also expanded our Ecommerce base by Starting to sell on Bonanza in 2/2010, Also started selling on Addoway 8/2010 We also have another web site A1Winegifts.com started 8/2010.
At this writing it's now 2011 time to expand horizons again, real people here looking forward to working with real people like you.
