Join us for an evening of art & wine! What does art have to tell us about wine and food pairing? Still life paintings often show wine-- red, white, and sparkling -- with items of food that range from cheese and fruit to fish and meat. Paintings of meals --from humble peasants' dinners to opulent feasts of the aristocracy -- show tables where wine and food share space. Are these paintings guides to the way wines and foods were paired in the time of the Masters? Or did aesthetics dictate the color of the wines and the textures and shapes of the food? In this illustrated talk, Rod Phillips will tease wine and food connections from these works of art and draw parallels to the way today's sommeliers pair wine and food. The talk will be followed by a wine tasting. Cocktail Attire Ticket Coming Soon! About the Speaker: Rod Phillips is a professor of history at Carleton University, in Ottawa, Canada. He is the author of many books and articles on the history of wine, including "Wine: A Social and Cultural History of the Drink that Changed our Lives" (paperback, 2018), "French Wine: A History" (paperback, 2020), and "Alcohol: A History" (paperback, 2019).

The Sacramento, CA based band CAKE continues to maintain a wealth of originality. If Hank Williams Sr. and Sly Stone were having a party together, and they played AC/DC records backwards... that would be this band. CAKE's adherence to their original guiding principles has only grown stronger. Originally formed as a somewhat antagonistic answer to grunge, CAKE’s democratic processes, defiant self-reliance, and lucid yet ever-inventive music has made them a nation-state unto themselves, with no evident peers in sound or perspective. In addition to writing, arranging, producing and performing their own music, they have taught themselves to engineer their recording projects in their own solar-powered studio, which regularly generates more power than is needed to run it, causing the building’s electrical meter to run in reverse. CAKE’s most recent album, Showroom of Compassion, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and was touted as “deadpan brilliance” by The New Yorker. While seamlessly blending many genres and influences, CAKE truly issues forth a sound and vision unlike any other band. The band is currently at work on their ninth album due for release during 2023. Note: the San Diego Symphony does not appear on this program. Stay Connected on Social Media! Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
