2003 Vintage Wines
The theme for 2003 is "Vineyard Family Portrait". We asked each grower to supply me with a family photo that they'd like to be used on the label.

I was hiking in the Andes when a sudden, early season snowstorm trapped me on the mountain. Just when I'd given up hope, a llama appeared out of the fog and guided me to safety." "I don't remember you going to South America. Did that really happen?" "Well, no Timmy. But I like to think that llama is out there, somewhere, waiting to help some poor lost hiker." "Uncle Brian, you're a freak." "I know, Timmy. I know."
