My BFF and I were looking for the perfect gift for a friend of ours (Jack) who was turning 65, and I think we found it! I bought a good bottle of wine (when is wine NOT a great gift?!), and BFF and I reworked the label to personalize it. 

We used two squares of decorative contact paper to cover up the existing front and back labels. Then I printed two labels with personalized text and a photo from long ago.

The new front label says:

Cher Ami Vineyards

Vintage 1952

 KILPATRICK CHARDONNAY

 An old, fine-bodied white wine with crisp notes

of love and best wishes, perfect for drinking at

your lake house with old friends.

BFF and I made up the French-sounding name of the vineyard, 1952 is when Jack was born (yes, we’re old!), and Kilpatrick is her last name.

The back label says:

KILPATRICK CHARDONNAY

Bottled by Madison Bottling Company in Houston, Texas

 WARNINGS: According to the Surgeon General, consumption of this product could lead to (1) hilarity and frivolity; (2) laxity during grandma duties; and    (3) more fun with the HaHa’s.

CONTAINS BIRTHDAY WISHES FROM BABS & DEBBIE

Madison was our high school in Houston, and the rest was written specifically with Jack in mind.

This proved to be the perfect gift — easy to do and loved by the recipient. A win-win for all!
