NAPA, CA (June 29, 2011) – Ray Liotta. Ray Romano. Rachel Ray. Usher Raymond. We all know a “Raymond.” But Raymond Vineyards wants to know – are you one?
The iconic Napa Valley winery, originally founded by Roy Raymond and his sons Walter and Roy, Jr. in 1970, has launched a search for any and all Raymonds throughout the US in an effort to bring together all those who share the winery’s family name. Whether your first, middle or last name, if you’re a Raymond you are invited to join Raymond Vineyards’ exclusive club that unites all those who share the name in common in appreciation of fine wine and the five generations of family winemaking in Napa Valley that the winery represents.
According to the U.S. Census, Raymond is the country’s 825th most popular last name, with over 38,000 Raymonds. There are more than 711,000 first-named Raymonds, making it the 36th most popular first name. Jean-Charles Boisset, proprietor of Raymond Vineyards, hopes to bring together as many of these Raymonds as possible to create a special community unified by its name.
