Wednesday Re-Wined
Wine Wednesday Workshops hosted by Chimene Visser Macnaughton will return this week for eight certification-level flights at Rowdy Hall in East Hampton. The workshops are presented collaboratively with Wainscott Main Wine and Spirits, where they were first introduced by Ms. Macnaughton. She is now the beverage director for Honest Man Hospitality, which owns Rowdy Hall, Nick and Toni's, La Fondita, Coche Comedor, and Townline BBQ.

Workshops will be accompanied by light snacks and will each have a different presenter and theme, beginning with Back to School Night! + An Industry Love Story with Jen Lucia, who is director of sales, Skurnik Wines, and James Pellingra, the general manager of Baytowne Wine and Spirits in Rochester.

The themes of future workshops will include supply chain challenges, personal histories, champagne, the role of importers, a sales rep's personal selections, and cellar diving at the American Hotel. The series will end with a 2021 rose preview. 

Individual classes are $25 reserved and $30 at the door. The cost for the series is $200 and comes with a $25 Honest Man gift card good at any of the group's restaurants. Reservations can be made on Eventbrite.

Artists, Writers Back

Ms. Carter, who has exhibited her work since the 1970s, explores themes of social justice, contemporary life, and the drama of nature. She has shaped Mylar as a support for various mediums since 1997. The works evoke the history of abstract art and the African-American abstract art tradition. Alvin Loving Jr. was a mentor.
