Wine Tasting & Ekphrastic Poetry

Join us for the greatly anticipated Wine Tasting and Ekphrastic Poetry Event at the SFWA Gallery on Sunday May 18th from 2:00 – 4:30 pm. The Gallery is usually closed on a Sunday so visitors will have private access to the artwork while listening to inspired prose and sipping delicious Corner 103 wines or bubbly alt beverages by TÖST. Light fare will be served. This is a FREE event and all ages are welcome!

Be greeted with a glass of sparkling rose while you wait for everyone to arrive. Explore the Gallery and pick out your favorites. Following the tasting experience with an array of cheeses and dark chocolate the poets will share their inspired works. Ekphrastic poetry is prose inspired by artwork in this case work from the Hope Lives: Art for ALS - Research Renderings exhibition.

Hope Lives: Art for ALS is an annual art exhibition fundraiser and awareness-building event held each May during ALS Awareness Month in the Artists Salon at the SFWA Gallery. The exhibition's title is "Research Renderings" combining the brilliance of ALS research documentation with the creative interpretations of artists.

All wines are from Sonoma’s Corner 103 Tasting Room. It’s here that founder Lloyd Davis has curated a world-class team of wine professionals. From winemaking to hospitality they are united by their desire to make the best wines possible and to create memories through unique welcoming and thoughtful wine experiences.
