Here's an eclectic collection of interesting, unusual, old, or rare wine labels. These are mostly from California, and rather than list them in alphabetical order, I arranged groups of labels to illustrate the evolution of a winery's label over a period of years, or to show a common theme, or just to show some unusual aspects about the graphics.
