I found these in a little town called Irvington down on the Eastern Shore. They were at the entrance to the White Fences Wine Vineyard. They were HUGE! Easily 20′ tall.

Oops! I was saving this post for last Friday — February 18th was National “Drink Wine” Day — but I missed it! So, I am hereby announcing that February 21st is National “Have Another Glass of Wine” Day!
Sadly, it seems that the White Fences Vineyard has gone out of business … but you can still visit their website here. I wonder if they’ll be keeping these corkscrews around much longer?

Hey, this just inspired me to do a big corkscrew post on my blog. Great minds think alike (and so do we)!
Bummer. I didn’t know they had gone out of business. I’ll have to ride back down there in the summer and see if the corkscrews are still there.
I took so long to post it that they closed before they made it to the site.
If the corkscrews are still there, pick one up for me, okay? 🙂
LOL! Yeah, I’ll just tie one on the back of the bike and bring it up to PA for you… 🙂
While you’re at it, get both of them. Just bungie one corkscrew onto each side so that your bike is well-balanced!
Was by there today and the corkscrews are still there! Sign frame is there too, but it’s sign-less. Definitely a photo op.
Thanks for the update … it will be interesting to see what becomes of them!
These are great. Sad they’ve folded up but… the idea of corkscrews on a motorcycle just might make up for it.
And Wendy…
“Have Another Glass of Wine Day” could only be called – best holiday ever.
Fuzzy –
I KNOW! I should totally be in charge of all new holidays, right? 🙂
they are still there and the vineyard is called the dog and oyster
