The American Dream Project

From a very young age, America has always represented the land of opportunity for our Vigneron Rutger de Vink. He was born in the United States but raised in The Netherlands and moved back in high school. He was so inspired by the promise of America that he joined the Marine Corps. After leaving the Marine Corps, he realized that he wasn’t looking for a career as much as a new calling—and building RdV and working to make a great American wine became his life’s mission. (Check out his video above to learn more.)

We believe the notion of the American Dream has inspired many in our community, and we want to collect these stories.
Your American Dream doesn’t have to be a grand story. We are looking to showcase how living in America has made you happy.
What journey has the American Dream inspired? If not the American Dream, what inspires you to greatness?

The RdV American Dream Project will become an archive of the hopes and dreams of our community. Please share a video or audio story by filling out the form and uploading it. We will watch them all and begin posting soonest, building an archive that we are sure will inspire.
