It was a town/gown Who’s Who last Monday at Le Cigare Volant, as the UCSC Arts division celebrated the launch of a student-designed label for a Banana Slug Roussanne 2010, made by Bonny Doon Vineyards.
Art major Louise Leong‘s crisp, colorful label design won the top award—and appears on the custom-bottled white wine now available at the Tasting Room on Ingalls Street.
Proceeds from sales of the $16 wine will support student scholarships for UCSC Arts students.
The label is a knock-out and the wine is intriguing. This elegant wine should be the graduation gift souvenir of the season.

Kudos to Randall Graham for constantly evolving the art of winemaking and the profile of winemaking in the community. All that’s missing from this cool post is a link to Leong’s prize-winning label. How about this one:

Keep up the good work, Christina!
