On March 6th in the beautiful surroundings of L&M Art Gallery, the New York chapter of the WineGeese gathered to celebrate art and wine as an entity for its most recent event, Paint & Palate.

Kieran McLoughlin introduced Irish art historian, Elizabeth Martin, who took us on a visual tour of the Provencal, Parisian, Brittany and Normandy regions of France through examining paintings by renowned Irish artists, Lavery, Hone, O’Connor, Osborne and Leech. Each of these artists has composed landscapes in these particularly beautiful regions of France. Through her discussion guests were treated to a little bit of Irish culture and history.

To tie it all together, wine expert Mary Gorman helped us explore our palates while tasting six different wines and champagnes from the mentioned regions of France. Mary described the flavors and body of each wine, allowing the guests to imagine the landscape of the regions from which they have been produced. It was a unique way to tie in the Irish artwork to the WineGeese’s niche.

American Ireland Fund Chairman, Loretta Brennan Glucksman and WineGeese Co-Chair Ken Gorman thanked guests for coming to be a part of another successful WineGeese celebration.
