My husband and I had many iterations of label designs before we finally agreed on one that we both liked. It was a Google Earth view that showed our vineyard at the head of the Mystic River. My husband took that view and stylized it and that has become our label.
The Google Earth view shown below on the left hand side has our vineyard circled in red. It also shows the Mystic Seaport and Mystic Aquarium landmarks as references. The right hand side shows what my husband did with the view. It's more of a tilted view which not only shows Mason's Island, but Fisher's Island as well as Long Island and the Connecticut coastline in our area.
Through time we have had Michelle in California and Kimberly here in Stonington help us refine the label with the appropriate font styles and sizes to achieve the right balance. Sometimes we forget to tell the people who come to purchase our wines what the label is about. We hope they can figure out that it is a view from our vineyard.
