Hatch Show Print wine
Once again I am a bit late to the dance on this one. Since there was no one in the city this weekend me and Stephanie decided to take full advantage of the situation. We went out, got some lunch, spent some gift cards, all the usual. I decided since there was less people in the city it would be a great idea to go to Trader Joe's Wine Store on 14th Street to fill up our wine fridge for half the price of wine stores in Williamsburg.
So we went, and as I was minding my aisle ethics and dodging shoppers I stumbled across "The Show" wine. The design was so good I grabbed it off then shelf in a burst of energy and gently placed it in the basket. There are two more, I will venture back.
The one design looked eerily similar to Hatch Show Print's book cover. The lightbulb that is Rob went off. Apparently these have been out for a bit, but I just had to blog about them cause they made my weekend.
These three wine savvy chaps known as then Three Thieves, started Rebel Wine Company, & being the savvy chaps that they are, got some awesome mass produced wine, featuring beautiful mass produced labels. I hate when all you see on packaging blogs are really nicely designed labels on like 500 dollar bottles of wine. The wine is pretty good, though, everyone has their own palette so do not shoot the taster! I would suggest trying it yourself, if not merely for the fact that it features iconic artwork from an iconic press.
Anything with good ol' fashioned letterpress and wine makes my day. Well that & Sid Meier's Civilization on PS3.
