Napa Valley vintners KR Rombauer III and Erik Nickel of Far Niente, Dolce, Nickel & Nickel, En Route and Bella Union have acquired a majority interest in govino, the original ‘go anywhere’ wine glass, and will join its original creator and founder Joseph Perrulli in partnership.
With the new partnership, govino’s ties to the wine industry, and Napa Valley in particular, are reaffirmed. First launched in St. Helena in 2008, the polymer wine glasses with their trademark thumb-notch soon became standard at trade events, tasting rooms, festivals, and homes around the world.
