Time Place Wine Company Rosé 2018, Sheldon Hills Vineyard, Lodi, California

The inspiration was found in the truth that wine is a perfect reflection of time & place, the climate & season, the site & study, and that moment you share a bottle with friends & family. time: 8:02:59am | 2016-02-20 | saturday. place: stono river | johns island | south carolina 32.725334° N , -80.009358° W. artwork: john duckworth | “This was a beautiful, chilly winter morning over the Stono River.
