Advance Reservations Please
Friday, November 6th from 4:30pm -6:00pm
Viticulture, thought to originate eight millennia ago in Transcaucasus, Georgia is supported by flourishing linguistic evidence. Its wine was exported to the far bounds of the known world. Persians, Greeks, Romans-all knew, appreciated and desired Georgian wine. Wine held great religious significance to earliest cultures.
Our tasting will include wines made using ancient techniques, and will be paired with traditional starters: pomegranates, walnuts, meats, fruits spices and herbs.
Barbara began studying wine academically at Sorbonne University, Paris and has continued her inquiry into the history of wine over the past decade. She has worked for three of Napa Valley’s most prestigious wineries, has been featured in the Wall St. Journal, has lectured at many museums and Universities in California. Her weekly blog on www.planetwine.net is a lively commentary on the art of wine.

Jaga Nath Glassman
“Landscapes and Bodies”
Jaga Nath Glassman is a fine artist, photographer and graphic artist. Her representational work has been well received in many public venues such as the Palm Springs Desert Museum, where she was an award –winning artist for her oil paintings. Her work can best be described as the synergy of fantasy and tranquility. In a life that has been a continual quest for knowledge and understanding, she has achieved fulfillment through her art. Beyond her extensive, diversified studies culminating in a Bachelor’s degree in the Biological Sciences, and a Juris Doctorate degree, she has also examined Eastern religion and philosophy. The sense of balance and serenity that her art invokes in the viewer is attributable to the inner peace she has found through her art.
Please join us for a reception in the artist’s honor on October 2nd from 5 to 7 pm.
