Peel back the label with us to find out why you really loved that bottle at first sight!

Join us on Monday, September 16th at Barnstormer Winery as we dive into the creative finesse behind wine labels, and the process that goes into every detail to making us pick up and sip. We'll discuss with industry experts the label design process, how an entire brand can be built from picking up a single bottle, and of course enjoying the wines behind the labels along the way! As always we'll have small bites paired throughout the evening.
