The Winemaker

On the Chalkboard Wine Label is a Family Affair
Our son and daughter drew the faint "erased" images shown on our wine label's chalkboard. In memory of Megan's mother, our founding winemaker Jean Ferguson, a guardian angel appears in the lower right hand corner of the label beginning in 1998.
