Art, Wine, and Pizza to Collide at Talarico's

Cool wine label, eh? This would be one of the offerings from Walla Walla's sensational Balboa Winery, and it's designed by Amy Glase (her husband, Tom, designs the wine). Thursday night, from 6-9, Amy's art will be on display at an unlikely venue: Talarico's in the West Seattle Junction, best known for its gargantuan pizza slices and boner-inducing pickup scene. Confession: I am personally quite fond of both Walla Walla and the Glases -- in art, booze, and life -- and they had the good sense to name their son Winston, sort of a throwback, southern name that has been inexplicably shelved in the annals of modern offspring nomenclature. It would touch this Delridge denizen deeply if you could come out, and next time you're in "Walla-Vegas" (my aun't ultra-clever nickname for the town so nice they named it twice), check out both the winery and Amy's downtown boutique, Fitts & Co.
