Naming companies and products is more art than science. I was searching for something related to the wine culture of the valleys, but more creative than the obvious choices. I went down the research rabbit hole and discovered that the word “dalia” in Hebrew stems from the word for the tip of a branch, particularly that of a grapevine or olive tree. I loved the image that it evoked for our region, so I dug deeper into the word “dalia” and found it is also the name of the goddess of fate in Lithuanian mythology. She is the giver and taker of goods and property. As Lithuanian is part of my heritage, it seemed like -- fate! So here we are!
