Got some plums back in 2014 from a friend.Bottled it the other day.Figured I'd keep the label simple

Skyline on the bottom a homage to the city I love!

(Incidentally, if you want a very decent quick drinking dry white, don't look past this WE World Vineyard Sauv Blanc!!)

Very nice label PittGrad. Texture on the label stock is elegant, and I love that you didn't feel the need to fill the sky; all that empty space adds to the design. Great job.

Really nice clean, but rustic look; like classic fruit crate art. If you wanted to go the extra mile on special gifts or special wines, you could cut the plums out with an Xacto knife so the bottle shows through (I know probably more work than it's worth, but just an idea).

Stoney Creek!

My wines are getting better, so I'm classing them up with some 'real' labels.

wow 14.9% alc! was this a kit wine?

 

[Boatboy24]

Nope. From fresh grapes. And that 14.9 is after I diluted with acidulated water!

Lucky you, at least your experience told you to dilute in time. My Pinot Noir batch got 15.3% this year before I knew it, so I may consider using it for disinfection when I run out of rubbing alcohol.

This is an invaluable resource. Even though I've got the basics down now, I still re-read it before each harvest. I've got it printed out and in the winery.

Very nice! Is that your family coat of arms?

 

[laceyogden]

Yes, it sure is! And Oak Valley is what "Ogden" means.

Hi. Yes, I started there. I remember seeing yours and I was REALLY impressed! So I tried to create one from scratch on Photoshop. Had to find my own "grunge" background and play around with the tint and contrast. Couldn't find the same font so I used something a bit different. Fun project. Thanks.
