20 Bees Wine
November 21, 2008
I was telling Amanda this morning about how I just seem to love any packaging that contains bees. She agreed and then told me about a wine that she had tasted when travelling across Canada last year with Dana. 20 Bees winery is located near the little town of Virgil, Ontario, and was recently aquired by Diamond Estates Wines and Spirits.
This wine features wonderful illustrations of people riding on bees! How can you not smile when you see that.
We share an affinity -
We have bees all over (wherever Brianna doesn’t slap a pomegranate first), and other great places with bees are all the insignia and accoutrements of the Napoleonic empire, lots of symbols in Freemasonry, and Laguiole-style knives (which are generally great design in their own right, and which may originally have been marked with a black cattle fly and not a bee, but close enough).
My favorite may be the highly-conventionalized hieroglyphic bees from ancient Egypt.
