Mike says:
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.

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
