These were sold primarily for the Smothers Brothers Wine Shop in Kenwood, California. A Simple, but beautiful design. This one is only lasered with the "Chardonnay" Logo. But it is much more unique.

This is a prototype. Notice it has no outer ring, "Fine Wine" is at the bottom of the logo, and Grape cluster is on top. Having ordered special designs from Tom Kuhn, sometimes they would test several logos on wood, and send the customer samples ... to pick the design they liked the best. I'm sure this is the case.

While this one is butterfly shaped, look at the other Proto posted. It was done in standard shape bodies. Again, likely so the customer, The Smothers Brothers, could decide which logo and which shape to order.
