MEET YOUR HOST
Vince Anter is a certified sommelier, and the Host and Executive Producer of “V is for Vino” wine show. After trying to be a rockstar in LA, Vince achieved his sommelier certification and worked 10+ years in upscale restaurants. He realized there was no way for the average consumer to learn about wine casually, nor a way for people to see where their wine came from, so he set out to create a show that combined food, wine, travel, and education; the “Bourdain meets Alton Brown” of wine. Vince’s passion stems from his desire to pass his wine knowledge on to others and make wine-drinking approachable and fun. The show has been featured on US Weekly, Fox, CBS, Decanter, Somm Journal, Forbes, and more.
THE REVIEWS ARE IN!
Vince is bringing wine to a new generation!
"Vince is the perfect candidate for the new Gary V: a guy who is in love with wine but is constantly trying to go further on his journey, and he invites us along for the ride."
"All the wine books and shows I have watched/read never really explained it in a way the common person could understand. Vince does just that. He makes wine both fun and accessible."
"Was a huge fan of season 1 and season 2 was a perfect follow-up. Nothing is better than exploring great wine and finding the best food to pair with it. This show gives simplistic, yet detailed wine knowledge that you can easily apply in daily life."
Just a great all around show... Must See!!!
"My wife and I found V is for Vino by accident and man am I glad we did!! Vince is truly and excellent host and makes learning about wine very approachable and a lot less intimidating."

FEEDBACK
FROM SPONSOR:
-Federica Boffa, Owner, Pio Cesare“Meeting Vince and his Team was a true blessing! Amazing people, very passionate and knowledgeable about the Wine World. Our Family became a great STAR for one week, with cameras following us everywhere, even downstairs in our secret Family private cellar. We get positive feedback from everywhere in the world! I visited South Africa for the first time in my life, trying to sell some Piedmont Wines, and during a tasting I was overwhelmed by compliments about the V is For Vino episode about Pio Cesare. Grazie for this amazing experience!”
FROM FANS:
"Just a quick note to let you know that while my wife and I are here in Piemonte, we had the opportunity to go down to Alba and visit Pio Cesare, the winery that you visited when you were here! Our host was Davide, who remembers your team. And of course, we tasted some great Barolo, Barbaresco, Chardonnay and other wonderful wines. All due to your introduction!"-Scott Harral (email)
"What a beautiful region, making my favorite wines. Pio Cesare is an incredible winery. It was a pleasure to have a look inside its amazing cellars. Federica is an impressive young woman, so knowledgeable & taking on so much responsibility at such a young age."-RedRover (YouTube)
