Wine Art
By Roxanne Wolf
Being a wine groupie for years in the Napa Valley and attending every wine event including the Napa Valley Wine Auctions, I saw certain personality types repeatedly. Then we planted our vineyard and I began, with equal fascination, to watch the behavior of the birds of prey on the property. Soon they merged and my characters took flight!

Carneros Cows |
| It is Mustard Season in the wine country. The dormant vines appear as stripes in the highlighter yellow fields.
In Carneros the hills are spotted with cows, velcro cows as they stick to the hills in the distance. The area is
abundant with egrets, calla lilies and of course, the grape, the wine grape. These contented California Cows pose for the artist. More Details |

Georgia On My Mind |
| Georgia O’Keefe’s bleached sculls with flowers in the ear canals inspire this beautiful,
soulful wine country horse who gazes out with warm, liquid brown eyes. Red wine grapes
adorn his ear and the bottle and glass repeat the pattern of his shapely head layer by layer. More Details |

Howl Mountain Whine |
| There are wolves in the beautiful rolling hills and mountains up valley in the wine country. On this night there is a full moon and the pack throws back their heads and howls in symphonic harmony. The glass of champagne is poured and the tiny bubbles rush in excitement and leap out of the flute into the atmosphere and join with the moon. More Details |

Humma Humma Ding Ding |
| There they are...the couple you’ve seen. He is big, strong, powerful, mature, rich and intense...That look in his eagle eye, his Rolex heavy on his wrist. And on his arm she’s a light, feathery hummingbird, happy joyful, shapely, sexy, oh soooo feminine and young. She wears her favorite red stilettos. They drink to happy times. More Details |

Oh Olivia! |
| She stands in her orchard of luscious fruity olives in various stages of ripeness. Her American flag tattoo swells with pride as she raises her glass of Sauvignon Blanc to toast the perfect moment to pick her bounty harvest..."To great wine and great olive oil." Her hat shades her perfect skin. More Details |

Pinot Blanche Dubois |
| She is so elegant in her finery, her hat jauntily perched as she enjoys the heady nose of her lovely wine. As she contemplates her first sip, an inquiring hummingbird decides to share in the appreciation of the nectar of the Gods. More Details |

Red Hot Dip |
| The night club is pulsating with the Salsa beat as the dapper couple dance. The band in the background wails as the night stars twinkle in time to the bass rhythm line. The palm trees line the floor and envelop the dancers. He is as gorgeous in his dinner jacket as she is in her slinky red dress. He leans her over in a dramatic dip as she holds out her glass of champagne. Let this night go on forever. More Details |

Seduction of the Wine Sale |
| He leans on the counter having poured the wines with great flourish. He is a master at his craft, the tasting room king. He has a live one in his keen sight. He exudes testosterone. The gold chain tingles on his hairy chest in anticipation of snaring a big catch a.k.a. making the sale. He has the wines, the charm, the patter. Nobody does it better. Babies, hang on to your wallets...You’re in for a ride and you’ll love it! More Details |

Sheila Shiraz |
| This beauty is crazy about everything Australian...The Crocodile teeth on her hat band mesmerize the kangaroos peeking in her window. Her aborigine inspired necklace glistens on her bosom as she swirls her glass of wine, enjoying the bouquet while she eyes the vineyard. "Acres and acres and all mine." A Sheila she is.

The Seduction of Wine |
| She is in the tasting room at her favorite winery. There is nothing more fun than trying new wines...A delight to the senses, swirling, sniffing, tasting, eyeing the color, the legs, spitting?...Not. Her eyes glaze. Her tongue is purple. She lifts her head and laughs at her charming and handsome hospitality host. “I love this wine,” she says. More Details |

Wynona White |
| She lounges by the window overlooking her ranch which belonged to her Daddy and his Daddy before him. The gauchos round up her beautiful cattle to the backdrop of her oil wells. She proudly sports her honorary sheriff’s badge and as she sips her favorite wine, a cool, delicious chardonnay, her long, red suede fringed gloves rustle with anticipation. More Details |
