May Port


The Port label was designed by my wife, Debbie. She used clip art pictures for the face. I wanted something similar to the enigmatic face on the Louis Jadot wine labels. Port is a fortified wine with between 18 to 21 % alcohol content, quite potent! This makes it a good wine to age. In some cultures a bottle of Port wine is stored upon the birth of a son and then is opened for his 21st birthday celebration. The May Port won a gold medal at the 2003 Winemaker Magazine wine competition, one of the largest wine competitions in the country.
