THE BABE / PONZI VINEYARD

A blast from the past. Nate sent a link to a site called THE SELVEDGE YARD.

ABOUT:

The Selvedge Yard is about all the things that interest me– a menswear product, presentation & branding guy with a passion for people, places things & ideas of enduring heritage, quality, authenticity & character. But I’m not all old school all the time– I appreciate innovation & technology in all things.

Take a spin through this site, seriously. Thanks to Jon Patrick for taking the time to bring us back in time, if only for a few moments.

My grandmother is a huge baseball fanatic, and that's putting it lightly. Every holiday when I visit we watch the 2004 ACLS games 3 -7 Red Sox versus the Yankees when the Sox came back from three down to win the Pennant and finally take the world series. That dropped the curse of the man above, BABE RUTH. Check out these pictures of the BABE off the field.

One of the greatest players to swing a bat.

NOT TO BE MISSED EITHER:

THE BIKERIDERS / DANNY LYON
REBEL ROUSERS / BOBBERS & STRIPES
JOHN DELOREON'S NERVES OF STEEL

Amazing.

PONZI VINEYARDS was founded in 1970 in Oregon's Willamette Valley and is internationally acclaimed for producing some of the World's finest Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and White Riesling.

I took a trip out there this past weekend to investigate, taste, shoot images and catch up on their grape techniques. A great time with good people, and the wine is spectacular. I was even really into their sweeter whites which is a rarity.

Much thanks to the Ponzi family for all the hard work.

Take care.
