The Bear
The drinking bear that adorns the label stems from the work of a well known Pfalz artist named Otto Dill, a friend of Oliver’s great grandfather Walter Baer (German for bear).
During an evening in 1933, Walter was unable to meet his friends for their regular ‘glass of wine or two’ and the artist sent the sketch on a postcard to his friend Walter the ‘bear’, and the postcard was signed by all the friends present that day; Oliver has the postcard in his kitchen to this day. As the bear has been with him all his life he had to feature the 'bear' on his label. A fitting tribute to his great grandfather.
