“Per Vitem! Ad Vitam! 
Jay Raffaldini Confirmed as Master Knight in Order of the Knights of the Vine
  

Our very own Jay Raffaldini has been honored with knighthood by the esteemed Knights of the Vine. On February 15, 2025, at the Four Seasons Wine Dinner, Jay was inducted as a Master Knight. The ceremony was steeped in tradition and ceremony, as distinguished members of the North Carolina Chapter—each bearing symbols of honor such as the ceremonial tastevin, the lapel pin, and the sacred sword—celebrated his outstanding contributions to the wine industry.

This momentous event was a true celebration of both heritage and excellence in winemaking. Inspired by enduring words from pioneers of the wine industry, the ceremony highlighted the deep-rooted passion for wine that unites us all. As we toast to Sir Jay's remarkable achievement, we invite you to join us in celebrating a legacy of quality, innovation, and dedication at Raffaldini Vineyards—where every bottle is a tribute to a timeless craft.

Beyond The Vines...Into The Community


As part of our commitment to supporting the arts in our community, we are excited to highlight Piedmont Opera's upcoming production of "Man of La Mancha." This celebrated musical, inspired by Miguel de Cervantes' classic novel "Don Quixote," tells the story of an idealistic knight's quest to bring hope and justice to the world. The original 1965 production won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and continues to resonate with audiences today. Performances are scheduled for March 23 at 2:00 PM, and March 25 and 28 at 7:30 PM, at the High Point Theatre.
