Post your labels here

[reefman]

I have the labels from almost every bottle I've opened, (both commercial and my own) and intend to do a big wall hanging.

I have a framed poster sized collage of my labels on my wall. I created the collage using Picasa 3, and uploaded the jpeg to the Walmart Photo Center. Even shipped to my door, it was less than ten bucks. It attracts a lot of attention from my guests. I need to do another one, as I have twice as many labels now.

Two new ones. The first is for a friend of mine (Aaron Knotts), who wanted some blackberry merlot, so I made a lable for him...just cause I'm that way...

This one is for my soon-to-be-bottled Italian Port. I wanted an antique snake oil medicine bottle look. What do you think?

As I have said many times, creating labels is one of my favorate parts of the wine making process! I'm about to bottle six reds and the port (above). I'll share some pics of the bottles once I get them labeled.

This is my newest label. I took the picture on my family trip to The Old Country back in 2004. These giant (10 or 12 feet across) cherub mosaics decorate the interior of Michelangelo's dome of St Peter's in Rome. They are around the interior balcony overlooking the central crossing of the basilica. It's not an often visited area of the basilica. The Piccoli Nipoti translates as Little Grandchildren. This wine will commemorate #3 and be served at his/hers Baptism next year.

Here are the 5x7 dollar store frames I've started using for my labels. Need to start another row, my winehouse walls are pretty empty so far.

Kraffty, that's seriously awesome!
Also, thank you for letting me know I'm not the only one who has used Minions on my labels...

 

[dralarms]

Dang, I started to but didn't want to get into trouble.

Mike thats awesome but soon you'll have way too many to go this route. The best thing though, is the fact that you have your first wines documented.

Wait, do I see a Dreaming Tree label there?

I can't get my wife to open the bottle of Le-MEN-ion, Mike. She says it's just too cute!

Have had two labels for awhile. The San Acacia is for all fresh grape wines like these. The Michaelena label is used still for any Kits (whites) that I make.
