The Avanti RV allows us to travel with our wine safely...
June 30, 2010
ELKHART, IN — Damon Motor Coach and Continuum Estate, a winery located on Pritchard Hill in Napa Valley, have joined forces to release their latest creations. Carlo and Dante Mondavi of Continuum Estate have taken to the open road to release their 2007 Continuum wine in the all new 2010 Avanti 2806 motor home which is built on the new Freightliner MC-L Front Engine Diesel chassis. They have turned the Avanti into their “wine tasting salon on wheels” and have christened it the Continuum Grand Cru-zer. Carlo said, “The upscale interior design of this all new Avanti provides the perfect ambience to relax, unwind and enjoy a glass of Continuum. Great wine is about all the elements coming together like this.” Carlo went on to say “It’s bringing a small piece of Napa Valley on the road”.
Matt Thompson, Damon Motor Coach Vice President and General Manager said, “Teaming up with Continuum Wines to launch our NEW Avanti powered by Cummins is a perfect match”. The beautiful styling and sleek design wraps around the ALL NEW Freightliner MC-L chassis powered by Cummins. The new power plant provides a much smoother and unbelievably quiet ride. At 28’, this new 2806 model provides as much counter space and interior storage as most 40’ diesel pushers. Matt said, “Others have tried to copy but none will ever match Avanti’s unique design and luxurious amenities. It is pure luxury on wheels.” Carlo and Dante can attest to Avanti’s quietness and improved ride. “I have never driven such a comfortable vehicle.” The aerodynamic design of the front cap includes a gigantic one piece windshield that according to Carlo its “like sitting in the living room and watching the world pass by on the big screen but static free; it’s so beautiful and wonderfully quiet.”
There have been numerous events around the country since the Mondavi brothers started their journey in March, which has helped garner much interest and enthusiasm for the 2007 vintage as well as the new 2806 Avanti. Since the start of their Continuum Grand Cru-zing this year the boys have been in Houston at the famed Tony’s, Dallas at the Pappas Bros. Steakhouse, San Antonio at Il Sogno, Tulsa at Lucky’s Restaurant and Los Angeles where the Cru-zer held court at the Mutineer Magazine party in Hollywood. There are many more events on the horizon where Carlo and Dante will tell the Continuum story building excitement for the release of the 2008 vintage next spring. Next month will find them in Rancho Palas Verdes, Ca. for the Trump Golf Wine and Food Festival, while in August Portland, Seattle and the Northwest will welcome them before they hit the Las Vegas strip in mid-September.
