MORE OLD LABELS AND BOTTLE ART
This is not the official label of the Stanford
University athletic teams (they were the Indians...now they're a color, the
Cardinal).
Some Virginia wine company used this label.
Here's a nice label from a Madeira of days gone by.
Nothing like a good Oberpipper!!!
We know there are some "clowns" making wines, since we often ask each
other "Does this taste funny to you?" It's rare to see a clown
depicted on a wine label, though.
We're big fans of the wines of the French region known as
"Cahors." We've been to a cellar or two in that part of the southwest
and never have seen anything quite like this.
If you've had a devil of a time trying to identify the type of wine you're
drinking, perhaps it was a Vin du Diable.
We've had a hell of a time finding the distributor for this one.
Can't get this in our market!
We know American wine writer Robert Parker often describes Rhne wines as
"sexy." Now we know precisely why.
We're not sure what to make of this label depicting a fellow dressed in medical
garb taking aim at "putting" a hypodermic needle.
We hope this little French red has a nice nose!
This wine must be good on your tongue.
Obviously, it's the label for a red wine.
Well, we're familiar with the Italian wine called "SOAVE," but don't
know this character, Suave!
Monsieur Quillardet sold his vineyard and winery some years ago, but his claim
to fame was the "Montre Cul" label. The vineyard was said to be
rather steep and harvester down the slope could, according to the legend, see up
the skirts of the lady harvesters.
