And the winner is … Paul LaPorte! At last week’s gathering at Bowers Harbor Vineyards for the annual Mission Point Lighthouse Wine Label competition, Paul’s artwork landed the most votes (i.e. dollars), which means his artwork will appear on the label of the upcoming “Lighthouse Pinot Grigio” to be issued this spring by Bowers Harbor Vineyards.
Here’s the label mockup of the winning art. Thanks to Rod Robinson for sending it along (check out his “Up North” blog, Wine By the Fireside).

SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENT LOCAL NEWSPAPER: I started Old Mission Gazette in 2015 because I felt a calling to provide the Old Mission Peninsula community with local news. After decades of writing for newspapers and magazines like the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Family Circle and Ladies' Home Journal, I really just wanted to write about my own community where I grew up on a cherry farm and raised my own family. So I started my own newspaper.
Because Old Mission Gazette is a "Reader Supported Newspaper" -- meaning it exists because of your financial support -- I hope you'll consider tossing a few bucks our way if I mention your event, your business, your organization or your news item, or if you simply love reading about what's happening on the OMP. In a time when local news is becoming a thing of the past, supporting an independent community newspaper is more important now than ever. Thank you so much for your support! -Jane Boursaw, Editor/Publisher, Old Mission Gazette
