Maybe a take on the bus lines, based on vintage year, like Q08 Q09 etc. And the label can be based on cemetary names...like Maple Grove Estates or Calvary... Maple Grove Estates Pinor Noir Q07

718 is the obvious answer for a name. It captures perfectly the essence of Queens/NY borough geography. I envision this as having a map in the background; the maps could constantly change, but they would always be of part of queens. Alternately, pictures of queens street scenes. Besides, how many wines are known by a number? Other possibilities: borogrown (an icon of a crown, no name) bottleneck bumpertobumper VintaQe the number of the subway line that serves the farm QueenB (for honey wine)

baby oink!

And here I thought that wine in my very own nabe is something grandma is stomping with her feet in a giant vat in the backyard and pouring out a screw top the same day...who knew?

when i first saw post "vintage queens" in kinja i thought "old gay people" - who knew there was a working farm in queens! i certainly didn't.

So long as they stay away from "Flushing", natch... It does indeed sound drenched in fabulosity...reminiscent of my DC days heading out to skyline drive's vineyards for a day of drunken roaming..and this way no one needs to be a DD. Whitestone- now I have that grade school song in my head- just replace bridge with vineyard..glory glory....

I like 718, but it also applies to the Bx, SI and Bklyn...Whitestone I like too.

the title should either be, simply: "718" or in honor of Queen's finest, Nas, "QB's Finest" REPRESENT!

i've been to this "musuem" on a school trip. it's like a giant petting zoo parked smack dab in the middle of a nice quite residential nabe. they hay rides are fun but petting zoo = e. coli!

My Greek Uncle from the old country used to grow grapes in his backyard garden in Astoria and make wine with it. I was too young to drink at the time but I'm sure it was old skool dawg!
