Lagniappe

I'm surprised no one has asked what 'lagniappe' means. They either already know or don't realize its significance. Alas, I can't wait any longer and have to spill the beans.
Vittles de Vine is a subset of Lagniappe Family Enterprises, LLC. And the Lagniappe Family, and its choice of name, is what therefore defines Vittles de Vine. Lagniappe is defined as "a small gift (especially one given by a merchant to a customer who makes a purchase)". The Lagnaippe family cannot help but gift gifts as the entire business is based on the concept, hence its name. More specifically the word is Cajun in origin and means a completely unexpected and nice surprise. Pronounce it lan-yap and if you love the concept, know that we love it even more. Being a giver is that much greater than receiving. Where most businesses are lucky or even expect to receive tips from their customers for a job well done, we consider ourselves abundant to be able to give tips and gifts to our customers for being so special to us. We love giving gifts just as bountifully as Nature gives its gifts to us.
