Our friend Richard Hatch sent over this photo of a bottle of "Freakshow" Cabernet Sauvignon from the Michael David Winery in Lodi, California. Can you spot the Houdini reference?
I’m late to this thread, but the guy on the giraffe looks suspiciously like an obscure European magician called Professor Bourdini. The blonde lady in the white dress is from Adelaide Herrmann’s 'Decapitation' poster.
HOLY SMOKES! I just realized Houdini himself is also on this label. Can you see him? He jumped right out at me this morning. How did I not see him before?
I see it! The Water Torture Cell monster!
ReplyDeleteThis is giving me Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band vibes
Caught it too! Had to study the label for a minute.
ReplyDelete...and don't forget a previous "Freakshow" wine - that featured both
ReplyDeleteHoudini and Kellar on the label.
I wanna see!
DeleteAlso looks as if he’s riding a giraffe…
ReplyDeleteThat's not Houdini riding that giraffe. He's not on the label. It's a character that's from one of his posters.
DeleteNow I wanna draw him riding a giraffe. Lol 🤣
DeleteI’m going to guess which character!
Delete😓
Is it… is it… is it? He has horns! Who is that dude!?
Nobody on that label has horns.

DeleteAdelaide Herrmann for sure. I don't know Bourdini, but I trust in you, Ben. :)

ReplyDeleteYes!!! Behind the dog!
Delete*spits out my tea*
DeleteNow you see him, now you don’t. Harry comes and goes. It’s his thing.
DeleteCool! Now we have two Houdini references! 😄
