Wine + design
Ninja June 25th, 2007
I don’t get out all that much, but when I do, I tend to meet some very interesting characters. Like when I was backpacking through Italy and shared a hostel room with a 50-year-old teacher who slept in the nude. That was a tad awkward!
Well, 2-3 years ago, I went to visit Clinton Vineyards. After a long drive, I politely excused myself to the loo. There, hanging over the toilet was a signed Seymour Chwast! Huh, these folks have good taste!!!
Ben + Phyllis Feder are the two kind souls behind Clinton Vineyards. I later learned that Phyllis was once partners with Milton Glaser! And that Ben, her husband, was one of Milton’s competitors.
They make great dessert wines! I highly recommend the Cassis (pictured above, made from black currents + it’s the Gold Medal Winner in the LA International Wine Competition) and Romance (a port style wine made from seyval grapes). If you’re in NY, go take a trip, get some wine, and chat about design!
