Rare Grape Vine Art From Opus 1 - Unpruned Retired Napa Cabernet Grapevine 100121-73
This is a piece of California history. Ready to ship! After decades of wine production, these vines were retired to my shop to take on new life as art after decades of producing amazing wine. I was very lucky 8 years ago when they were widening fire roads all through Napa and I have a small collection of incredible art for sale for the first time. Each one is unique and one of a kind. When I'm out, that's it. This listing is for a super rare, unpruned Opus 1 vine. Limited Edition. This Opus 1 retired Napa Cabernet vine made their incredible Cab (its amazing if you have not tried it). Look at the wine bottle next to it to see the sheer SIZE of the vine! Its massive and an incredible part of California history. The field wire is embedded into wood after decades of growth. You can see it emerge for a bit before delving back inside only to emerge again. A fabulous detail! The light and dark swirls of the vine are incredible and y cell pictures really don't do it justice. Its perfect for a wine cellar or on top of the Mantle to remind you of your trip to California's premiere wine country. What better way to celebrate than having a vine that produced the wine you enjoy? This piece was dried for 8 years then kiln dried, run through my process, then sealed with several coats of a clear UV sealer for a lifetime of enjoyment. A highlight to any room. Unpruned vines are the rarest of rare as they are all pruned every year. This amazing vine escapes as it was in an odd location against the old back fence. I cant tell you how lucky I am to have this and I have one in my office I'm keeping as the color is so incredible! The metal field post next to it rusted over decades and the iron flakes were pulled up into the vine making these incredible swirls of red through the trunk. My cell pictures dont do this any justice! Arrives in a custom built super strong art crate, fully assembled. Just unpack and enjoy!

They are individually handcrafted, one of a kind creations, and not factory manufactured. It is therefore quite difficult to make identical items. Our attentive artisans make every effort to create only the best from materials with natural variations that should not be misconstrued as flaws. These make each piece of a handmade product charming and unique. The vine pictured is the one you will receive. Its awesome!!

For Vinya - Alionza - Old Vine Grapevine Coffee Table1.5We enjoyed our custom made grapevine coffee table until we discovered it was infested with wood-eating beetles. An exterminator confirmed these beetles reside in the wood. The table was not salvageable and the bugs destroyed the rug beneath the table. The maker refused to respond to my request for remediation. Before considering spending thousand of dollars on any product from this maker, I strongly urge you to take heed of the following response from Custom Made Support: "The listing clearly stated that the product is made from recycled materials. As such the maker had no way of knowing that the materials used to create your table were infested with bugs."

For Bordeaux - Grapevine Salt And Pepper Grinders4.2All went fine, except that it isn't clear which grinder is for salt and which is for pepper. The one with the black grinding handle has plastic grinder parts, which makes us think it should be for salt. The one with the chrome grinding handle has metal grinder parts, which makes us think it should be for pepper. If this is correct, it seems odd to use chrome for pepper and black for salt.

For Graham's Wood magnetic knife board5.0Wow is all I can say. Michael was phenomenal. The product is perfect and service amazing. It did arrive slightly damaged but Michael paid to ship it back and had it repaired. Then I had to have it shortened because I ended up having a smaller space than anticipated and he took care of everything! Highly recommended.

Michael and his team were very professional to work with, prompt in their replies and thorough in their responses. Mounting the custom light fixture turned a bit into a challenge due to my own misconception and weight of the final product, but completely overjoyed that I chose Michael's design and proposal. Highly recommend.

For Wine Barrel Ring Edison Bulb Pendant Light4.7Working with Michael was very easy. Some mods were required for our application of this lamp, which Michael was able to accommodate very easily. There was a small delay in getting shipped across the border, but once that was worked out, (without using a broker or added cost), the courier delivered our item in a few days. We're very happy, we have 4 unique lamps from California wine country in Ontario wine country!

For Wine Rack --5.0The wine rack came much sooner than I had anticipated- it as a nice surprise (not to say I would be upset had it arrived on the anticipate "due date"). I love the "imperfections" and the lack of symmetry. It gives it that beautifully put together look that "homemade" has to offer. I don't know who made it, but I can see their skill and personality. Blends perfectly- NOT obnoxious, NOT too big, and definitely not something I will get tired of looking at. EVER. (I really cannot rate the expertise and value of this product since I don't know what it took on the other end in terms of time and skill. Bottom line, I am happy with the product for the amount I paid).
