Ah, here we go again. It has been a difficult year for all of us. Top of the list of contributing factors is the virus (which will remain un-named) and whatever variant (also un-named) of same we're into now.
My Brother Ralph and I continued with our running gag of 25 years or so. I checked on the first iteration, we've been doing this since 1995 in fact. We always made wine with intent: to share a beverage with friends and family (not to poison as some may claim), and then share a bit of a joke (much needed in these fearful times) pointing fun at ourselves.
Ralph did a great job making the wine this year. He decided to concentrate on a red wine which, he has said, is quite good, almost fit to drink.
I worked on the labels and the story.
So this is the continuing saga of...
Campbell Wine Wine
Below is the label for this years wine. The main feature, the front barrel, was actually contributed by my son Elliot. He took the photograph while he was at one of our favourite places, Primitive Designs, and then sent it to me with permission to use the image.
I cut the barrel out and added it to a photograph of my own and threw in some finishing touches: modifying the gun powder to read gnu powder, the red Wine, the X, the wooden sign, and there you have it.
Once complete I started working on a bit of a story and then copied it to a brochure template, adding the pictures and then printed that out as our handout for the year. Here it is.
