Label-ology
The brand - Liberty Cellars - is an expression of my lifelong interest in American History. I create new labels each year to celebrate famous and lesser-known individuals, events, and icons of the Revolutionary War (the fun is in the research! reading biographies, drawing the illustrations, visiting historical sites).
There is a method to the labels :-)
| Liberty Label-ology | |
|---|---|
| Cabernet Sauvignon | Our flagship varietal venerates the people of action, the Generals and leaders in battle. Recurring: G.W. every five years. |
| Declaration blend | Honors the intellectuals who propelled the Revolution through their writings and voices. Recurring: Franklin, Jefferson, Samuel Adams every five years; Paine, Henry every ten. |
| Zinfandel | The owner’s pet project - the Zinyard - celebrates the major American battlefield victories. The western block of the Zinyard is planted in the shape of the Betsy Ross flag. |
| Other single varietal reds | Toasts the less-heralded, the unsung, the engrossing new discoveries found when exploring history. |
| Sauvignon Blanc | Features the icons of Liberty and America. e.g. The Liberty Bell |
| Late Harvest | Highlights the Bill of Rights - the culmination of the Revolution - akin to a bold, sweet final course to be savored! |
We welcome suggestions for label figures, especially lesser-known and under-appreciated persons, groups, and events from the American Revolution - please share with us!
