SECUS WINE & ART TAKEOVER
$75 / 21+
SECUS is a wine and art project by Nicholas Calouri named for a latin word meaning “to the contrary”. This is a small-scale project with incredible ambition – equal parts winemaking, farming and artistic expression. This is not the wine industry that you grew up with. It’s the underground movement, the Willamette valley chopped-and-screwed. Nicholas is an artist and winemaker who has thought deeply about the intersection of visual art, winemaking, and agricultural commitments. This event will be the first ever tasting of Nicholas’s sophomore release, two wines collectively called “Volume II”. Learn more about his project here.
Come celebrate the handmade, the delicious, and the slightly off-center. No, we won’t be drinking out of fancy Austrian crystal. For two hours, we’ll be making and discussing art, drinking and discussing wine, and generally tearing down the altar of both.
The event includes two handmade, dishwasher-safe ceramic cups that you will decorate with underglazes over the course of our two hour conversation. After the event, Matthew will glaze and fire the cups before letting you know they are ready for pick up (2-3 weeks). If you like what you taste, you’ll be able to order wines to pick up with your finished wine cups.
Included in the Ticket: Two cups that you’ll decorate with underglazes; wine tasting led by Nicholas; light bites; great vibes.
