posting the final label -- I did switch to arial for the warning and tightened the back label up. News of note We are using clear burgundy shaped bottles. Its bucking the trend a bit, but we feel that will give us a leg up with a different look.

Added some structure to the website. I still need more content and am currently working on the PDF data sheet for the Premiere Rose

Added the Blog and linked them. I will be working this week to get a bio sheet up on who we are and then start being active on the blog. I would love it if you would subscribe to my blog and chime in with questions or comments.

Thank to all of you for all your input on the label.

I like the finished label 9both sides) a lot! I would definitely take a second glance if I saw it on a shelf.

I've been away for a few days.

I would put some spacing on the back label, to either side of the "/" mark where you have 75% Grenache / 25% Carignane. That would help readability some.

As for the Government Warning: can you just go for flush left, rag right? The justified copy is a bit stilted.

Most everything else is pretty good. Much nicer from where you started.

By the way, Ariel is a knock-off of Helvetica. When you have the chance, go for the original!

Wadcorp - Great feedback on the technical items that usually get forgotten.. We submitted to the TTB a coupla days ago, but I have kept your notes so that we can update the label for our reds and the 09 rose. -dave
