My painting “Through the Forest” is featured on the label of the newest release of Brooklyn Oenology’s Motley Cru wine. To celebrate I’m having a solo show at their Tasting Room located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at North 3rd Street and Wythe. The show consists of 12 works in a variety of sizes and mediums including several new pieces that haven’t been seen outside of the studio. A reception will be held in the tasting room of BOE in Williamsburg on Thursday, March 5 from 7-9pm. Drink specials will be available throughout the evening.

About the Wine – Motley Cru
This silky, velvety red exhibits a savory nose with hints of olive, and continues to a core of juicy cherry fruit and spice on the palate. Round and soft with great acidity and fine tannins, it is very much a Rhone-like wine, with a medium body and the texture of a robust Pinot Noir. Petit Verdot provides a robust structure, an inky purple color, and powerful blackberry and black pepper notes, forming the foundation this complex wine. Cabernet Sauvignon lends red-fruited body, Syrah provides nessed spice, and Merlot rounds and softens the palate.
Truly a New York “cult” wine, Brooklyn Oenology’s Motley Cru is inspired by the face of Brooklyn – complex, with fantastic variety!
