RUTHERFORD, California (March 10, 2021) – Francis Ford Coppola, proprietor of Inglenook, is pleased to announce that a major renovation of the historic winery’s Pennino Salon has just been completed. The Pennino Salon, named after Coppola’s maternal grandfather, Francesco Pennino, will be open for indoor wine tastings as conditions allow.
In redesigning The Pennino Salon, Coppola worked with his longtime friend and colleague, Dean Tavoularis, to create a stunning setting, reminiscent of a private club in the 1920’s. Tavoularis was the production designer on many of Coppola’s films. The result is a room that matches the extraordinary quality of Inglenook’s wines and beckons guests to immerse themselves in beguiling details. Patrons are surrounded by the Coppola family’s personal mementoes including works of art by Wayne Thiebaud, film director Akira Kurosawa, Robert De Niro, Sr., and Mr. Coppola himself.

Wine label art and design innovations evolve for overall branding efforts
Wine labels are some of the tiniest canvasses on which artists and designers can make a bold statement to lure consumers. At one time, a touch of gold or silver foil was enough to catch a shopper’s eye on a crowded store shelf, and was a major step forward in elevating ho-hum labels to something jazzier. Wine-label designs are undergoing a renaissance of beauty and cleverness, together with some innovative technology, as part of larger branding efforts.
In early 2020, St. Helena-based CK Mondavi and Family began using a technology called thermochromic (temperature-sensitive) ink, to change the color of the labels on some of its chilled wine. The company introduced its seasonal Spritzed Rosé Moscato last spring with thermochromic labels, which transforms from a light cream color to a bright pink when properly refrigerated, at approximately 55 degrees.
