NANCY CICCHETTI SHOWING MAY 15 TO JUNE 18
I JORDENS EYES
NANCY CICCHETTI - ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My travels in Mexico, Italy,
Utah and throughout California have influenced my work. Whether
portraying the street life of Qaxaca, the rock formations in Bryce Canyon,
or the driftwood on the Mendocino coast, I look at the complexity of images,
the juxtaposition of color, and the edges of shapes. Nature has supplied me
with a never-ending panorama of subjects. I don’t need to paint a seascape – a
single piece of driftwood can give me the peace and solitude of a day on the
beach. Likewise, my images of people are not stagnant portraits, but moments in
time that encapsulate a mood or relationship. My subject matter is diverse
because I continually find new objects that draw me in.

INFORMAL WINE APPRECIATION CLASSES
After a wonderfully successful two years, I have suspended classes until later in 2008 while we retool our structure. This series will focus on fundamentals, essentials of wine tasting, wine tasting for the record, with a final session of wine and food pairing, conducted in an informal, sitting-around-the-table discussion, with opportunity to ask questions and get straightforward answers from winemakers Paul Kreider and/or Michael Durphy, who together draw upon 60 years of winemaking experience.
Sessions will meet for four hours each afternoon of two Sundays from 1:00PM-5:00PM. The cost for the course is $125.00 and we limited it to 12 seats per session. Call to sign up and for details. You can reserve space in the next class by clicking here .The way we do this is start a waiting list, and when we have enough participants, we hold the first class.
Graduates of the class become members of The San Anselmo Swirlers, a group that meets at the winery to eat great food and taste bottles of wine some of us might not otherwise experience.
PRIVATE PARTIES
Would you like to hold a private event at our winery for from 10-75 people? Let's talk! We have had great success with the following concept: at 7:00PM we close the door to the public, and you and your group can enjoy the delights of the winery for 2 hours. You can bring your own food, or a caterer can provide it for you. Your guests will be served wine from 7:00-9:00PM when we shut down. The cost for this is $20.00 per person. There is no charge for the use of the facility, except that if it runs past 9:00PM, there is a $100/hour charge- in 15 minute increments- I guess you can figure out why we have to do that.

HELP IN THE WINERY
(File this in your tickler file---no, I won't tell you where I keep my tickler file) Sometime around the first week in October (late this year), we will be picking grapes in Marin County (WE DID THIS, 15 OF US, YESTERDAY, 10/15 IN SONOMA) and in other nearby locations; we can always use some extra help. If you think this is something you'd like to experience, let us know. It is not as hard as digging out tree stumps, but it isn't as easy as watching TV either. Unfortunately, due to the uncertainty of weather and ripeness, this event often has a short lead time and cannot be scheduled weeks in advance.
