🍷💋 We have a Crimson Kiss label winner!
A big congratulations to Haley Elizabeth Haley Julian, whose artwork will become the label for Crimson Kiss! 🎉
We received so many wonderful entries, and there is some serious talent in this community! Choosing just one was incredibly hard. In the end, Haley’s simple, thoughtful drawing captured the name of the w**e just as we had envisioned.
When we judged the artwork today, we did it completely blind—no names, no background stories, just the artwork itself. Only after choosing the winner did we read Haley’s inspiration, and it made us love the design even more:
“Inspired by the idea that a happy accident can turn into something beautiful, the design features a tipped w**e glass spilling crimson w**e that forms a kiss. The two tiny hearts represent my mom and me, as she was the one who named Crimson Kiss and won the naming contest. This artwork celebrates the story behind the w**e and the special connection that inspired its name.”
How awesome is that?! ❤️ A w**e that began as a happy accident now has a name and label connected by a mother and daughter’s creativity!
As a thank-you, everyone who submitted an entry will receive a $10 Indian Island Winery gift card. We know that doesn’t come close to recognizing the time, creativity, and talent you shared, but we hope you’ll enjoy this small token of our appreciation.
🎨 To everyone who entered: We’d love for you to share your artwork in the comments if you’re comfortable doing so! I haven’t had a chance to reach out individually for permission to share your designs, but we’d love for everyone to see the creativity that made this decision so difficult. ❤️
Thank you to everyone who helped bring Crimson Kiss to life—and congratulations again, Haley! 🍷💋
P.S. We hope to release this w**e no later than December. It all needs to go through label approval before we can get the labels made. With any luck, maybe we will even have before Thanksgiving.
