Photo Competition

See your name and photography on a bottle of Bon Niche™ wine!           

Whether photography is your passion, or just an occasional pastime, we invite you to participate in our continuing Bon Niche™ Cellars photo gallery competition, illustrating the vision and emotion of being in a good niche.

L’entrée

Enthralled with their new niche in life, winery owners Wally and Joyce Murray planted their first vineyard with Malbec. So it seemed quite fitting to name this varietal L’entrée or “the entry” in French.

Tim Campbell of Yucaipa California took this inviting photo of an entryway at the Mission San Miguel, in California.

Voûte

A French word for arches that beautifully connect and support each other. When blended these three rich and beautiful varietals connect, support and become a wonderfully structured wine. In their new niche in life Wally and Joyce Murray enjoying blending these three lovely grapes for all to enjoy.

Chemin

Let your imagination run wild on the interpretation of path. Be it a cobblestone street, or a tunnel of trees, each leads you somewhere unique. Wally and Joyce Murray, owners of Bon niche, have named their blend of five Bordeaux varietal grapes Chemin, or “Path” for this was the blend that enticed them to follow the road to a good niche in life.

Voyage

Memories of trips around the world, and the experiences of magnificent sights, delicious foods and incredible wines reminded Wally and Joyce Murray of what a trip it’s been to start a vineyard and winery. This beautiful red wine is named for many a bon voyage.

This inspiring photo was taken by Wally Murray while vacationing in Venice, Italy.

Fenêtres

Inspiring windows, or fenêtres in French, will frame the view of many a great place. This moved Wally and Joyce Murray to name their Petit Verdot for the beautiful point of views achieved by being in a good niche in life/

The photo on this bottle was taken by Joyce Murray in Siquenza, Spain.
