An entry from Pat Conroy's , acclaimed book the Author of "The Water is Wide", Chapter four (4) page two (2). "The first time I walked the road I was shocked to see two odd-looking structures on a curve in the road. There was a sign on one of the buildings that read SILVER DEW WINERY 1953".
After purchasing the "Winery" I spent almost a year refurbishing it and replaced the sign noted by Mr. Conroy. Since that time The Silver Dew Winery has become the most photographed structure on the Island and was recently featured in Delta "In Flight" SKY Magazine. It also appears damaged and forlorn in Jean Moutoussamy-Ashe's recent award winning book "Twenty Fifth Anniversary of Daufuskie" forwarded by Alex Haley. The Silver Dew Winery represents a time in South Carolina LowCountry History when a simpler life prevailed and things like home made wine were drunk with true appreciation
With this in mind I have designed a T-Shirt in honor of Papy and the Winery that he so loved. He would be proud to know that the sign depicted on the front of the shirt has become one of the true symbols of South Carolina history and heritage. The back, drawn by famed graphic designer Ralph Sutton shows the Silver Dew Winery and former Lighthouse structure CIRCA 1883 in all its hand ladened brick glory.
The T-Shirts are now offered at Twenty Dollars ($20.00) plus Three (3) Dollars handling and shipping. They are made from the highest quality T-Shirt manufactures I could find "Authentic Pigment". One Hundred (100) percent cotton has been pre-washed to give a true South Carolina LowCountry Historic affect. I have chosen colors that are nautical in design and will fade beautifully over time. All shirts are available in "Large" and "Extra Large" and pinkish red is also available in Medium. Colors available are Green, Dark Blue, Light Blue and a Pinkish Red.
Shirts will be shipped by US mail upon receipt of cash, check or money order made out to Silver Dew Winery, Inc. and sent to
