Excerpt from the original article.
Downtown Napa is a hotbed of new, less expensive places to sip, but what fascinated me was another kind of opening in June: the pairing of serious contemporary art and wine at the Serge Sorokko Gallery + Martin Ray Vineyards & Winery tasting room on 1500 First Street. In the minimalist space with glossy white floors, I contemplated stylized Hunt Slonem paintings of rabbits and butterflies while enjoying the winery’s brut rosé of pinot noir. Sorokko, who also owns a gallery in San Francisco, said, “We believe wine tastes better when surrounded by art.”
Sounds like another luxury trend in the making.
