March Wine Dinner

"Green" Wine Dinner Monday, March 17, 2008 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm Since March is often associated with Saint Patrick's Day AND since there are no Irish wines to speak of, we ran with the "green" theme for this dinner instead. These days, green can mean a lot of things like "organic" or "sustainable." At March's Wine Dinner, we'll be looking at several classifications for wines: organic, made with organic grapes, sustainable certified, even salmon-safe. Organic wines and wines produced sustainably, just like foods, are being sought for their purity, quality, deliciousness and even conscience. Hundreds of years ago, chemicals weren't available as they are now, so people developed natural ways to keep their vines and grapes healthy. These days many vineyard managers, wine makers, and wineries are reverting to older methods of sustaining healthy vineyards. Interested in tasting delicious wines? Well you can do it while knowing they are produced in a "green" fashion. Join us for an evening of wonderful wines and plenty of delicious food prepared by Panzanella Chef, Chris Capron. The cost of this event is $45 per person; space is limited, so reserve early. Please pay in advance and pick up a ticket for this tasting at either Panzanella (919.929.6626) or the customer service desk at Weaver Street Market in Carrboro (919.929.0010).

Art Show

"Controlled Chaos" New works by Catharine Carter through March 31, 2008 Trained as a painter at UNC-CH, Catharine Carter has been a professional photographer for over 30 years. She returns to her fine art roots with the contemporary acrylics series "Controlled Chaos". "This series explores the process of conflict and resolution. Emotions are expressed, explored, and challenged with color, linear movement and composition. In a process similar to journaling, I allow my uncensored emotions to flow onto the canvas, then step back and create visual order within the chaos. I invite you to experience the process of meeting chaos and coming to resolution through these paintings." Reception: Monday, March 3, 2008, 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
