Meet the Curator of "A Case for Wine" exhibit from the Art Institute of Chicago at Binny's

I have visited this exhibit at the Art Institute twice already.  It spans many eras in art from ancient times to present.  I am particularly interested in the tapestries, bedspreads, book covers and wallpaper of the Arts & Crafts movement, most of which came out of the William Morris Company.  The depictions from this particular gallery are mostly grape and harvest motifs and only allude to wine, but interesting nonetheless.  The exhibit is up until September 20th.

I just read that the curator of the exhibit, Christopher Monkhouse, will be giving a presentation at Binny's in the South Loop on Wednesday, September 9th from 6-7:30p.  The presentation pairs anecdotal information about pieces of art from the exhibit with a tasting of wines from Terrazas de los Andes and Casa Lapostolle.  The Pairing of Wine with Art event is free with a Binny's card and attendees will receive a discount on admission to the Art Institute.  Reservations are required.
