This simple banner weathervane with the letter "V" stands over a clock tower at the Bilmore Winery in Asheville, North Carolina. The Biltmore estate was established by George Washington Vanderbilt during the Gilded Age, and his grandson, William Cecil planted the first vines in the 1970s. The first wines were bottled in 1984, and the following year the winery opened to the public. This building in Antler Village on the estate opened in 2010. Every year they produce about 150,000 cases of wine.
