Here's my latest, for the WE Eclipse Stags Leap Merlot I just bottled.

I love this! Did you do the artwork?

Our latest Riesling label got an honorable mention in WineMaker magazine. I thought it was cute and funny.

I'll never forget my mother sitting us down to watch that..."it's animated, right? It's for kids!"

She had to deal with two very traumatized sobbing children in short order.

2016 Columbia Valley Riesling bottled today.

@dcbrown73 what yeast came with that Columbia Valley Riesling (I assume EC-1118) and which one you used?
Nice label BTW.

Nicely done, David. I used that same template for my 2015 blend. I like it.

I used the yeast that came with the kit, though I do not recall exactly which yeast it was. I didn't record that in my notes. (I will going forward) Actually, for some reason these notes don't even specify when I actually tossed the yeast! Clearly I dropped the ball on note taking for this batch, several others have far more detailed notes.

This old thread states it comes with two yeasts (1118 and 1116) I remember starting kits with two yeast packets and this very well could have been one of them.

As for liking the label, thank you. I'm pretty happy with the wine now, but I expect it to improve quite a bit in the next six months. (just have to keep my hands off of them!) It's light sweetness is exactly what I wanted to pair with Cajun foods. (spicy and semi-sweet is a perfect mix)

Very nice! I absolutely love the quality of their labels. I just wish they had a lot more design options. I have a feeling I'm going to run out of options quick making around 8 batches a year!

I have a CC Passport Australia Riesling coming in this week and hence the question about the yeast you used.
I was going to use QA23 but have none in stock....
So I may end up using the EC-1118, unless I order just a packet of yeast at over $3 shipped....

I use them for my grape wines, but only those that I think are worthy of the expense. Most kits I do come with labels, so I use those. Other 'pretty good' stuff from grapes or juice, I'll print my own.

My first three batches...

 

[williamwbradshaw]

my first label!

Quite nice..

Anywhere near Sonora, by chance? *squinting at Sierra Foothills*

Nice label. One day I hope to design my own.

There are some great labels on here. What type of paper do most of you use and how do you adhere it to the bottle?

 

[dcbrown73]

This is the very first wine I started making. It's right at one year old. (I actually started early March 2016 I believe) I've had the labels ready for a long time. I just decided to bottle it and the Zinfandel this weekend. Clearly on this one. Tyron Lannister's quote from last season named the wine. (The Imp's Delight)

I also bottled the Lodi Zinfandel today. I'm extremely happy with this wine and the label outcome.

Well done, great looking bottles!

I'm in love! With your Imp's Delight concept and your zin!
