For several years, I worked in Francis Ford Coppola’s art department. We created art for his wineries, movies, personal projects and events, and worked in a range of media from packaging to print to web.

Francis Coppola Reserve
There were six varietals within the Francis Coppola Reserve line. Each varietal had six unique labels with different configurations of C-O-P-P-O-L-A. The wines were a limited production, featuring the best grapes from Sonoma Valley.

Grappa
I designed this label and wrote the copy for it, and learned how literal the FDA can be. If you claim that Grappa can put hair on your chest, it had better put hair on your chest. (Ours did not.)
Wine Club newsletters
Upon its opening in Geyserville, CA, Francis Coppola's new winery, Rosso & Bianco, launched a Wine Club. Along with wine shipments, its members received a quarterly newsletter with stories of what had happened in the previous quarter and announcements of what was to come in the next. Incorporating the winery's unique, informal and somewhat edgy personality, I thought the poster would be a fun format for delivering the news.
