THE WINE LABEL STORY
Several years ago I was in a small, rather odd liquor store in Florida that had the appearance of a dusty warehouse more so than a liquor store. But in this rather odd shop there were several, albeit dusty glass cases, displaying rare and desirable wine bottles.
One such wine collection was bases on labels of famous people. Two of the bottles were on display, one of Marilyn Monroe and the other of Elvis Presley. The images on these particular labels were in black and white and very appealing. The slogan attached to each bottle was alliteration, pairing the name of the star with the wine variety. One of these was a bottle of 'Marilyn Merlot'.
Those labels became the inspiration for my group of dancers paired with flowers, designed for Salsa Vineyards.
