MadreTerra wine dinner
Wine Tasting and Dinner with Giuseppe Marrano, owner of Podere 29
Don't miss the MadreTerra wine dinner featuring the exceptional wines of Podere 29. Established in 2005, Podere 29 spans 20 hectares, with 17 dedicated to vineyards. Nestled in northern Puglia, near the Gulf of Manfredonia, the winery benefits from its proximity to the sea. Podere 29 is passionately committed to organic farming and uniquely refrains from irrigating its vineyards, resulting in lower yields that significantly enhance the quality and organoleptic characteristics of their wines. Join us for an evening of exquisite wines and culinary delights, and experience the unique flavors of Puglia with us.
Monday October 7th, at 7pm.

Peter Lodato
Diamonds/Divisions/Voids
Always fascinated by the uncertainty of human perception, and the duplicitous nature of vision, which can be both revealing and deceitful, Lodato creates paintings that delve into this duality. Upon first read they are austere, geometric abstractions. After further observation, however, the paintings begin to vibrate: brushstrokes become evident and the surface reveals that there are numerous layers beneath. The hard edges of his often bi-chromatic works dissipate into sensuous fields of color that seem to push space in and out.
Lodato’s reductive, divided compositions are visual confrontations between the planar simplicity of form and the resonance of particular pigments. A disciple of the AbEx color field painter, Barnett Newman, Lodato’s sumptuously colored canvases echo Newman’s concept of using division as a way to merge different areas of the canvas into a sublime whole.
