Making Wine Labels!

Aside from actually producing it, the best part about making wine is creating the labels. The work is done and now it's time to create your own special stamp. I usually look for inspiration in recent trips I've done, so I decided to label my 2009 vintage with an Icelandic theme, as I went to Iceland this past summer. Check out these labels from the 2009 vintage!

"Miðnætursól" means "midnight sun" in Icelandic. And yes this picture was taken at midnight, only a few miles from the arctic circle!

"Svartur Lundey" means "black puffin". Puffins are cute seabirds common in Iceland. They're also delicious!

"Jökull" means "glacier" in Icelandic. There are no shortage of glaciers in this beautiful country!
Stay tuned for a report from bottling day, and of course taste testing!
