FROM THE VINE
For the wine lover on your list, Blue Mountain
Vineyards & Cellars, Ltd., will custom make a label to
make it special. The vineyard can reproduce any black-
and-white or color image that can be scanned. A one-time
set-up fee of $30 allows buyers to reuse and redesign the
label as many times as they want however long as they
want, says Kat Collins, business manager. Any size order
is OK, although Collins confides, “we’d prefer not to do
one or two.” The cost of the wine is on top of that. Don’t
delay, Blue Mountain needs a two-week lead time. Blue

Cross. For men and boys, 5-by-7-mm oval brown wood
beads with the same Pope Francis picture and cross.
