Yep, the Muscat in our backyard grows on some trellising that the previous owner installed and painted red. So we call our wines Red Trellis.

Someday might get some custom bottle openers or wineglasses if the price is right and don't have to order too many it might be fun.

Paid a designer on Fiverr to come up with this - with a few tweaks from the original rendition.

I started my winemaking in a basement laundry room that doubled as my black & white darkroom for my photography business, thus "Darkroom Wine Cellar". In 2005 my father-in-law tore down a 100 year dairy barn. We managed to salvage 23 beams 2.5in. x12in x12 ft a mix of oak and hickory. With the help of 2 friends we made countertops, wine racks, and poker/tasting table for my new wine cellar. After completion we had to include "Old Barn Wine" (division of Darkroom Wine Cellar). Still working on my logo.

Whoa! Those racks would hold a metric ton!

All the lumber for the racks were resawn so finished racks were were made from 5/8 in. material after resawing and planing. I haven't been able to completely fill them yet.
Apparently a production, consumption issue.

Do you really mean 5/8"? There must be some mistake. Looks north of 1" to me.

Yes the racks were constructed with 5/8" material but there is a 1" trim on the face of the edges of racks which creates the visual of a larger profile
Ten Rows - because that's how many I have!

I'm Ted, so our wine is SpiriTED Cellars.
We started making wine in the Ga Mnts on Fighting Town Creek, a national trout stream. So F T C Wines was the name we picked. Now making wine in Florida for 8 years FTC Wines means From The Cellar.
Northern Oaks, my favorite tree on my property it took a few years to settle on this, haven’t labeled any bottles yet, but I have the label built in Adobe.
Headstone Cutter
Name comes from the profession of the gentleman who built our rattletrap farmhouse in 1880s and plied his trade into 1930s (the foundation of a nearby house has some of his goofs).
Our house and 140 vines are next to a small hilltop cemetery (first graves 1812) -- where Old George planned ahead and made sure he would rest easy under what still remains by far the cemetery’s tallest stone.
Working on a logo for labels and our first bottling later this year.

This is a LOT of inventive names. I suck at naming things so I just went with my last name. Many moons ago I ordered stick pens that allowed 2 lines of customization, so I used my name and developed the tagline "fine wines since 1981", which I've used since then.
A friend constructed the grape warrior avatar for use on a Dungeons & Dragons forum (have played since 1983), and I have used it on my labels since then. Following is the current version of a label for a 2020 red -- I'm broadening out, using a lightened picture as a background. Once I tried using a colored background and burned through $75 in ink before I realized it.
I love the customized coasters and the openers @NorCal posted ... gotta look into that.
EDIT: I use Paint.net for my graphics work. It's free and full featured, but the learning curve is steep. I search for instructions before trying anything new as figuring things out of my own rarely works. I'm not all that artistic, but am a solid technicians, so I do things like clearing the background of a graphic so that only the main part of the graphic covers objects behind it.
I used paint.net to identify the predominant blue/grey colors in my avatar, and used those colors for the titles.

I often fade the background as well, makes for a really nice touch.
In case anyone is wondering, I used paint.net to lighten several drawings of chateau, then showed samples to family and friends, who voted.
used to bottle wine twice a year with about 20 friends had a blast. also Had shirts and hats with logo this was the amateur's winery latter went commercial with one called "The Wine Barn"

The G.F. named our winery Artist Ridge Wines. At the time we were doing a lot of photography selling at craft shows.
With a large hill behind our hose. Hence the name.
