Thank you. Originally they were going to provide me with some wine labels to discuss. When i showed up I was set upon the WL (it’s HUGE btw) I only had 15min to find some interesting labels. Yes my explanations were fairly basic but it was also on the spot

    Great show buddy, I’ve been drinking wine for years, and still can get turned on by a really interesting label.

    I don’t guess I have a favorite designer, that’s Lady Paryb’s bag…but I do dig me some Monet…

    Don’t know much about designers, but off the top of my head I would say Hundertwasser.

    Ok episode, I think there was probably some better examples to pick if you were just doing a label show.

    Interesting show idea, fun change of pace… Now I’ve gotta order the J Mourat Fiefs Vendeens Collection Red off WL and give it a go

    Did Gary just make a sausage-fest joke?

  • Very interesting show. Design can make or break a sale. I have to find that white wine. I love new grape types.

  • A show close to my heart since I have worked most of my life in the typesetting/printing business and actually wanted to design wine labels when “I grew up.” I even bought the url “finewinedesign.com”

    That being said, great show but did anyone “card” Strat? Man o man he is young.

    I may need to buy some of that Spanish white since you compared it to a Donnhof Riesling which is hands-down my favorite white wine.

    QOTD: Geez, this is a tough one but I’ll go with Giambattista Bodoni. I’m sure Strat has heard of him. He is really “old school.”

    Cheers!

    P.S. Vintage Stinkor coming your way.
