Wine N’ Weenies
Why is wine so complicated when it doesn’t have to be? Most vineyards feel too stuffy—swirly glasses, quiet voices, and vibes that scream “do I belong here?” Wine N’ Weenies is the opposite: casual, a little chaotic, and made for people who just want to drink wine and have fun without judgment.
The idea started on a trip to Newport, Rhode Island, where my friends and I hit the vineyard and Wally’s Wieners. The vineyard was cute, but the little snacks weren’t cutting it, we were still hungry! Then we went to Wally’s for weenies and martinis, which was more our vibe. Somewhere between bites, I joked about “wine and weenies”… and it stuck.
What started as a joke became my senior studio project—a bold, playful brand with a strong visual identity that doesn’t take itself too seriously and is a little unhinged in the best way.
