NEXT PANZANELLA WINE DINNER - MARCH 13, 2006
WINES OF ARGENTINA
Join us Monday March 13, 2006 for a tasting tour of Argentina, South America's most important wine-producing country. We will be focusing on wines produced by a man by the name of José Zuccardi. In the Mendoza region of Argentina, Mr. Zuccardi produces wines under three different labels, Zuccardi, Santa Julia, and Vida Organica. He farms all his vineyards organically, although they are not yet certified. He has been Argentina's Business Man of the Year, and he treats his workers as well as he treats his wines. Santa Julia is named after his daughter and boasts 100% estate grown fruit with hand harvesting, two qualities very few wines can claim in this price range. José is always tinkering to get the most from his vines. His name is usually written in the company of words like 'dynamic' and 'forward thinking.' Whether it's new technology, new trellising, new rootstocks, new varietals- nothing remains constant as he evolves and continually strives for excellence in the vineyard. His goal is to produce the best quality wines he can and provide value. Even his premium wine is a mere $21 on the shelf and is produced in a quality and manner commonly found in wines 4 or 5 times the price. We will welcome Seth Gross of Henry Wine group who will guide us through our tasting and slide show presentation of his visit to Argentina and Mr. Zuccardi's winery and vineyards. Join us for an evening of wonderful wines and plenty of delicious food created to complement them by Panzanella Chef, Peter McCloskey.

Images Past and Present: Assemblages by Ray Tolan
February 13 through April 16
Reception Monday, March 20, 5:30 - 7:30 pm


Don't look now, but the broken sewing machine spindles you placed in a recycling box on the sidewalk last year have reincarnated in one of Ray Tolan's found art and metal sculpture assemblages on display here in the U.S. or in some European country. This self-described "sidewalk archeologist" enjoys the collecting as much as the construction and the finished work. His whimsical pieces, combining the most unlikely of materials and textures, elicit respect for their quality but also a chuckle for the artist's audacity.

Stop by during this exhibit and enjoy Ray's fascinating work. And, don't miss the artist's reception on March 20. It's free and open to the public, and promises to be a fun event.
