The Offering at Mustard Magic
We’re pleased to announce that Richard Thomas’ latest sculpture, “The Offering” was accepted into the juried Napa Valley Mustard Festival Visual Art Competition and was on display at the opening night of the Mustard Festival at the Culinary Institute of America in St. Helena, CA. The opening event for the Mustard Festival is “Mustard Magic”, a gala event to kick off a two-month season of sensational food, wine and art events. Richard’s sculpture, “The Offering” looked incredible under the lights in the Vintners Hall of Fame at the Culinary Institute.  Since the evening was “The Offering’s” premier debut, she drew a lot of attention and admiration from the party goers.

David and Judy Breitstein
Our good friends and collectors, David and Judy Breitstein, proprietors of the Duke of Bourbon www.dukeofbourbon.com in Canoga Park, CA have donated an extraordinary wine collection to the Culinary Institute in Napa Valley.  “A History of California Wine: The David and Judy Breitstein Collection,” was unveiled on February 20, 2009 at the Vintners Hall of Fame at the Culinary Institute of America, Greystone, in St. Helena, CA. This exhibit is the first major educational exhibit to document the rich history of the California wine industry as told through unopened bottles and informational placards. Quite an honor for the Breitsteins to have it placed in the Vintners Hall of Fame!
David Breitstein says, “I see wine as art, and each bottle in the Collection has a story to tell of places, people, varietals and moments in a continuum of the California wine industry. I hope that visitors will come away with a new sense of the unique history of California wine as told through these treasured bottles so expertly displayed at the CIA.”Â
Richard and Sheri are proud to be associated with the Breitsteins and raise a glass to toast them in their honor!
