The Capital Grille will be presenting their second annual Artist Series Wine Event which celebrates the worlds of fine art and wine making.
The event, which starts next Monday, March 21, will feature an exclusive, limited allocation Cabernet Sauvignon wine adorned with an original piece of artwork as its label. (The event will continue until the wine runs out.)
About the wine:
The Capital Grille Artist Series Cabernet was hand-crafted by Thomas Peffer, a world-class winemaker from Atalon Vineyards in Napa Valley, with the help of The Capital Grille’s George Miliotes, one of only 170 Master Sommeliers in the world. The grapes used were from specially selected vineyards in Napa Valley whose high elevation and unique microclimate result in the perfect conditions for creamy, boldly textured flavors. Blended solely for The Capital Grille, fewer than 1,000 cases of this unique wine will be produced.
About the label:
To match the work of art inside the bottle, The Capital Grille invited artists, label enthusiasts and wine lovers to create an original label for the wine during a competition held last autumn. The winning painting, Pairings, by Florida-based artist Patricia Timbrook, was chosen for the way the bold colors and fluid lines perfectly complement the robust flavors and subtle undertones of the wine, and will appear on every individually numbered bottle of The Capital Grille Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon.
For each bottle sold, the company will donate $25 to Share Our Strength® and its mission to end childhood hunger in America.
