New Look

Bored with my standard template background, I decided to get creative in Photoshop, and transform a few photos I had taken in the wine cellar into the new background for my blog.  I went through the cellar, found a dozen or so of my favorite bottles, and lined them up on wine boxes on top of our center wine racks, which we treat as table-top storage for received cases.

Here are a few of the pictures I took, and their transformation in Photoshop...

The last photo is the one I decided would best suit the blog.  So if you're wondering what wines are in the background of Juicy Tannins when you're enjoying the posts, from left to right: Beaulieu Vineyards, Georges de Latour, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 2006; Chateau Prieure Lichine, Margaux, Grand Cru, 2002; Duckhorn Vineyards, Merlot, Napa Valley, 2007; Testamatta, Bibi Graetz, Toscana IGT, 2007; and Darioush, Signature Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 2007.
