Stamps on wine

According to EuropeanStamps.net, winemakers Michel Castillon and his son, Jérome, decided to name one of their wines on their French Chateau l’Ermitage ‘Victor Castillon Rouge’ in tribute to Michel’s father, Victor.

What’s even better is that they have chosen a 1922 registered letter to serve as the label. The letter was addressed to Victor Castillon and stamped with a 25-cent ‘Little Sower’
