Persian Pop-up: An Evening of Wine and Persian Tribal Textiles.
November 7 @ 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm
An evening of wine tasting and conversation about art in the tribal textiles of Persia. We will open the evening with notes on a selection of wines from Solo Vino wine store. Our special guest is life-long textile and rug collector and artist Joseph Breidel who will bring part of his collection to the art gallery and give a speech. If you are a wine connoisseur or antique rug enthusiast this event is for you.
Being a wine connoisseur is similar to being a rug collector. You hunt for quality books and study old maps: it is all about geography and learning about different people. In studying wine, you learn about the people that made the wine, where they might have come from, where they moved to, and what types of grape varietals they brought with themselves. In studying weavings and textile, you learn about different tribes, where they eventually settled, what types of fabric and wool they used, and what traditions they had in constructing a carpet.
In order to attend you must RSVP. This free event, limited to 50 attendees. Appetizers and charcuterie will served.
Event hours: 5 :00 pm to 7:30 pm
Doors open 5:00 pm
