If you’re looking for information, insights, and intrigue, the three themes of my blog, or anything profound, you’re not going to find it in this post. This one’s just for fun.

Over the years, I’ve noticed how many company names begin with Vin or Vina. Talk about jumping on the bandwagon. While I wish many of these companies could come up with something more original, it is a source of amusement for me and others.

Below is a partial list in A-Z order. Feel free to email me with ones you know about. Think of this post as a collective project and a work in progress.
