Wine & Art - Part II: Winedesignz

A couple of years ago, I was wandering around the farmer's market in Oakland and spied a sign that said Fine Wine Designz. Of course, I was curious so I moseyed over to chat with wine artist Manuel Barrios. The art was quite appealing in it's low-key Burgundy tones. My first question was: What kind of wine you use? Two buck chuck? Well, I hadn't meant to give offense, but Manuel seemed slightly peeved and patiently explained to me that each wine has not only different hues, but different qualities altogether. If I remember correctly, Manuel preferred Syrah for it's rich color and thicker body. To learn more about Manuel's wine art go to: www.winedesignz.com.
