I apologize if I am butting in on a private conversation, as this would
appear to be from the salutation, but it was posted for all to see...

No one has yet addressed my suggestion of "company" -- how would
it fit in this usage? Or was it dismissed because it was utterly invalid
and stupid (which would be fine, I just wish people would tell me when
I'm being stupid...)?

Also, what's wrong with just using the place and description of the
craft for a name (e.g., "Rochsburie Vintners" or "Bright Hills Singers")?
That would seem a pretty practical labeling system...
