Wine Tasting & Dinner Party is a very special Carino's event held each
month.  This is a RSVP four course gourmet dinner in which each course
has been paired with a different wine.  

Each month's dinner consists of special gourmet dishes not found on
their everyday menu.

Each wine is specifically chosen to coordinate with and enhance the
flavor of the course.  The wine steward describes each wine selection
and helps educate guests.

Below is this month's dinner menu and sample of the artwork being
featured by OXIDE Gallery.

ARTIST STATEMENT
I was blessed to have been exposed to art throughout my life. I grew up
surrounded by Architects, Draftsman, and Craftsman; aunt and uncles
that encourage any little spark of my imagination.  My godmother
introduced me to photography at an early age; but it was not until
college when I had my first darkroom experience that I truly fell in love
with it.

I was mesmerized by the sheer magic of it all. First seeing the subject I
wanted to capture, and visualizing what the picture would look like; but
the best part is seeing the end result materializing as if by magic right
before your eyes. I love the ability to freeze time, to record a special
moment; a small piece of history and share a different perspective of
everyday subjects.
