Wine Example:

One of my private labels,
Little Wing Syrah Reserve, is
made in California by Napa wine making legend
Anthony Bell (see picture below), former
GM and head wine maker of BV (1979-1996).

My label's name is that of an
absolutely beautiful song written by Mr. Jimi Hendrix.
The humming bird is symbolizes beauty and
freedom. Besides, it is my choice of
business logo for my small business operation,
as well as fit the name since
its wings are little....

It is full bodied, with
supple texture and perfect balance. Its aromas are of
currants and berries. Its flavors range from cassis, to
ultra-ripe cherries and vanilla over nuances of roasted
coffee bean and chocolate. Indeed, It has been called
decadent. 80 cases (yup! that is it!) were bottled
for the 2005 vintage, to be released October '07.
You may find it in ultra-fine dinning
establishments of NC. If you live outside NC, you may
order it by clicking on the link below, but
only if you are at least 21 years old.
It is unlikely that you'd be disappointed.

Where Can You Find it?: Well, It lives in a few
great places, since only so many siblings were made.
A good place to start looking is in the wine list
of independent, fine dinning establishments
such as:

Chapel Hill, NC:
B. Christopher's
La Rez
Squids .
