Las Espinas would not be possible without the help and guidance of my father, Kim McPherson, and his Assistant Winemaker Spenser Igo. Casey Dillon was a patient and calming force behind my label design. Nicola Parisi made all of my ideas and dreams come true with her incredible photography. I’m so grateful for the encouragement and collaboration from Sommelier Nicole Nowlin and Wine Writer Lucy Anderle. And I’m indebted to Victory Wine Group and Siema Wines for believing in me! Lastly, to the High Plains winegrowers whom I’ve worked with and hope to work with in the future—farming in one of the most unforgiving landscapes of all of Texas. https://www.lasespinaswine.com/the-story daily 0.75 2021-04-05 https://www.lasespinaswine.com/the-wines daily 0.75 2021-04-09 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/606a64c75410b82332e3c5cd/t/606aaa93bda56a5896d68e28/1617603231436/nicolaparisi_las-espinas_0183-Edit.jpg the wines https://static1.squarespace.com/static/606a64c75410b82332e3c5cd/t/606fbfa659c1ef32971eb333/1617936308917/nicolaparisi_las-espinas_0453-Edit.jpg the wines https://static1.squarespace.com/static/606a64c75410b82332e3c5cd/t/606aaadc5c1e195fa38531de/1617603303797/nicolaparisi_las-espinas_0313-Edit.jpg the wines https://www.lasespinaswine.com/las-espinas daily 0.75 2021-04-06 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/606a64c75410b82332e3c5cd/t/606bf9d0ea77f86aefd2a34e/1617689064106/IMG_1110.jpg las espinas - Las Espinas It began with the artwork of Robert Rogers. A close family friend, he allowed me the privilege of using four of my favorite paintings as the labels of Las Espinas, then only a nameless project keeping me up at night. The colors and textures of each label captured the native cacti of West Texas in delightful detail—perfect for a wine that is, above all, proudly Texan. Meanwhile, the bright colors and dainty scalloped edges of papel picado pay homage to my mother’s Mexican heritage. The name ‘Las Espinas’ came naturally (one of the only parts of this project that did!)—a reference to the gorgeous cacti and their thorns that remind us life may be prickly sometimes, but it’s surrounded by beauty to be grateful for. And if anything, this last year and this endeavor has instilled this in me.
