 My last month’s story was about the idea that wine could be considered consumable art. Wine is the medium and the winemaker is the artist. I like that analogy because creativity is an important factor in the enjoyment of life. We take the resources around us, look at it in a different way and create something new and wonderful – grapevines produce fruit and that fruit becomes wine. Without creativity the world would be a much duller and uninteresting place.
Mike and I believe it is important to support local creative talent. This is especially crucial in a small town like ours where opportunities to bring work to the public may be limited for any number of reasons. Visual artists, performers and writers should have a place to come together to showcase their art in their own location where they live, work and socialize. We are fortunate that we have many types of artists working in our community and even more fortunate to have the ability to be able to bring these together for the enjoyment of our friends, neighbors, and visitors. We hope that whether you are a local or a visitor, you can take some time and stop by Nearwood Winery Tasting Room July 30 to August 13 for our Art & Authors showcase. We have special events planned that combine visual art, writing, and music and of course delicious wine! Check our website calendar and Facebook event page for updates.
