In the 1960s, Italian Swiss Colony wine producers chose a little old man dressed in an Alpine hat to be their TV spokesperson for their fine line of quality wines. His favorite closing phrase was “That little old winemaker…Me!” His voice was performed by Jim Backus. Thats the inspiration of LaReginas Anglia Altered Name.
