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).
