Design: Labels Bear Flag: A successful blend of Petite Syrah, Zinfandel, Alicante Bouschet, Merlot, and Tempranillo, Bear Flag’s red wine is draped in a beautiful mural – a masterpiece by Argentinian artist Eduardo Bertone that each bottle is proud to wear. When modern art meets the grape, the colorful chaos is 100 per cent Californian and ridiculously entertaining. www.bearflagwine.com
Redemption:
drink me
The second release of Redemption’s wine, 2008 Sauvignon Blanc from Mendocino is covered by a colorful quilted pattern of found papers and fabrics stitched together by artist Thomas Campbell of Santa Cruz. We’re still trying to figure out how Mao on a piece of Chinese currency fits into the redemption theme. After a couple more glasses, I’m sure we’ll have some answers.
