2009 Toast of Taos is almost here!!
Our festivities kicked off in March, when we unveiled the newest Toast of Taos Commemorative Poster at a big reception at San Geronimo Lodge. Over 100 art lovers showed up to sip Guadalupe Vineyards Riesling and Gewurstaminer and the glorious red wines of Vivac Winery. Almost all the artists who entered the competition greeted fans and showed their work.
This year 27 artists entered all kinds of art work, including photos, jewelry, sculpture, and paintings. Some of the names include Peggy McGivern, Ann Cole, Stephen Kilborn, Shelbee Mares, Laurie Phelps, Pat Woodall, and Kit Lynch, just to name a few. The only requirements for entry were that the piece have something to do with wine and that the artist come from the Taos area.
Judges evaluated the entries for artistic merit, visual appeal, regional representation, and wine
focus. The top two images--Happy Harvest by Kit Lynch and Ready and Waiting by Ann Cole were both so terrific and different that we decided to make posters of each. They are available for sale at http://www.toastoftaos.com/.
