Wine and Art Pairing
I have a show coming up in a few weeks where I pair wine with art. Several years ago I came up with a method to pairing wine and art. We can all agree that art triggers emotions in us. What we do not think about is how wine also triggers our emotions when we smell and taste it. Aromas are connected to our memories. Our memories create emotions. Strangely, emotions effect how we taste and perceive the world around us. When we view a work of art, our brain triggers an emotion. What I try to find is a wine that matches that emotion. The pairing comes when the wine and the art trigger the same emotion, contrast each other in a pleasant way or one enhances the other.

The best way to understand it is to put it into action. Join me on August 11th, at The Prado in Balboa Park 12-3pm. I will have 18 artists (all employees of the Cohn Restaurant Group) paired with a different wine. You can get tickets at Purplepass.com/corksandcanvas
