Growing merlot grapes at a vineyard on Hwy 198, near King City, California.
How do I know they are merlot grapes? The sign at the end of the row said so.
LES MOULINS DE CALON,
Situés au coeur du célèbre vignoble Montagne St Emilion, un groupe de moulins datant du XVI ème siècle longtemps laissés à l'abandon, ont depuis quelques années été rénovés.
Au nombre de cinq, deux ont retrouvés toiture, ailes et mécanisme.
Aujourd'hui, grâce à leur propriétaire, le paysage a retrouvé en partie son allure d'antan.
La région n'a pas toujours été couverte de vignes. Pendant un temps, ces collines furent maculées de champs de blé. Puis les fruits de Bacchus envahirent peu à peu cette contrée. Dans les années 1860, un insecte nuisible venu clandestinement des Amériques, s'attaqua aux racines de la vigne et détruisit la moitié du vignoble de la région.
Afin d'endiguer cette maladie, des portes greffes de vignes résistants furent trouvés et replantés. Depuis ce temps là, les merlots, cabernets et autres cépages sont indétrônables. Et malgré ce ravage causé par le Phylloxéra, le vignoble Bordelais devenu la culture principale a fait cesser le travail des moulins. -"
We planted this redbud tree years ago, but I never noticed these deep burgundy-red pods before. They are quite pretty. And I have always loved the kaleidoscope of fall colors that appear all summer long on this tree, especially in back lighting - HBW!
SSC - Abstract Nature
For this challenge I have taken this shot of a trailing Geranium, Merlot, in my garden. I have used ICM to get an abstract effect. Instead of moving the camera I zoomed in on the flower during exposure trying to keep the camera still.

Howdy folks, how's the New Year treating you? I hope this photo of mine finds you well. Hope you have a blessed one. I am still working like a energizer bunny .. still going .. and going .. and going ...
We've had this bottle of white merlot for a while (a leftover from Shore Week), but finally cracked it open. It's really tasty--light and refreshing but with the subtle hint of a red wine. We had it with pizza last night, roast chicken tonight.
shamelessly copying Ana.

(048/365) I'm hardly a wine connoisseur, often it's the label that attracts me to a bottle, as in this case today. I bought a bottle of this South African red to accompany our roast lamb dinner tomorrow. On offer at €8 in Tesco, my kind of price :)
Merlot gosta de moda e de maquiagem, e curte um visual mais escuro às vezes (tipo todo preto). Só que sempre sem deixar a fofura de lado! Ela é uma pessoa meio difícil de se lidar, é autoritária, impaciente, e não se importa muito com os outros. Mas não é má pessoa.

Merlot likes fashion and makeup, and sometimes she likes to wear dark outfits (like, all black). But being cute is also always important! She can be hard to deal with, she's bossy, impatient, and doesn't really care about others. But she is not a bad person.

Thanks for viewing my photo, comments are always welcome and appreciated.
I personally consider the 1986 Marilyn (Monroe) Merlot label to be the best of what I call the early releases. Early releases because they featured a foil seal over the cork that was embossed with a grape cluster design, and which can be seen in a photo in the comments section. In 1991 the foil was sealed with a "kiss", which I'll share in a photo later in the series.
The dress Marilyn is wearing here was actually gold lame` material although it doesn't appear that way in the label. In the spring of 1953 Marilyn Monroe received Photoplay's plaque for "the fastest rising star in 1952". For the award ceremony she borrowed this spectacular gown that designer Bill Trevilla created for the movie "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" and which literally became Marilyn's own. After the ceremony, which she appeared two hours late, her hip-swinging departure was so provocative that pandemonium broke out in the audience.
See below link for a little better photo of MM in the gold lame` dress:

The photo is from the Kobal Collection...photographer unknown.

The photo used for the above 2002 label is a portrait of Marilyn wearing an easter hat and was discovered in a group of photos found in an abandoned brownstone in New York City in the 1970's. The photographer is believed to be Carl Perutz.
Sorry to say, but I don't have an original of this to share as I've been able to do with other photos used for labels up to this point.
