KENTUCKY BOURBON TRAIL MAP

A version of this map is going to be used for a post on Tasting Notes. It lists all the major bourbon distilleries in Kentucky and indicates their location.

Some Signs

Just some ol’ signs for wines I made for Astor! I think these are my favorites I’ve made so far.

April In Paris Window Display for Astor Wines & Spirits

This past weekend I worked all Sunday to put together the new window display for Astor Wines & Spirits. The theme was ‘April in Paris’. Naturally, the first thing I thought of was people sitting outside enjoying themselves in a cafe. You can’t walk 5 meters in Paris without coming across a cafe with plenty of tables on the sidewalk. The funny thing is how all the chairs are turned outwards towards the sidewalk – I guess people-watching is the national sport of the french! I painted the backdrop to look down Rue St. Dominique, at the point where it crosses Boulevard La-Tour Mabourg. I was feeling nostalgic – I used to live in a tiny tiny apartment on Boulevard La-Tour Mabourg, next to a fishing supplies shop run by two friendly guys who would always wave hello to me. 

Anyways, the snowmen from the previous window had to go – in the photo above they’re waiting to be melted in Astor’s dumpsters.

Admittedly this was this february – but better late than never!

Erdenlied at Taste Festival at the Direktorenhaus in Berlin

I am unbelievably excited at having been invited to exhibit the Erdenlied wine label I designed for Astor Wines and Spirits at the Taste festival, hosted by the Direktorenhaus in Berlin. You can see it here

Unfortunately I couldn’t be there because I’m on the other side of the Atlantic – otherwise I would have made a beeline straight to the Direktorenhaus! Check out photos from the festival here:
