Palates, Palettes, Paintings & Pinot

We love Daniel Padilla’s art.

The abstract paintings and mixed media works from this fantastic gay artist never cease to amaze and mesmerize.

Plus, he puts the fine in fine artist.

We’ve seen Padilla’s work on display at his gallery and during events throughout the year, but there’s one this Thursday that promises to be our favorite yet.

Sambuca is hosting the artist for Pairing Palettes (and Palates), a celebration of his work that incorporates two of our other favorite art forms: great food and wine. Executive chefs Trey Pope and Mario Dominques have developed a menu that will pair a culinary treat and wine with six of his works of art.

For just $39.99 per person, it’s a fab alternative to simply staring at art in a museum all sober and hungry. There’s a free exhibit afterward, too.

You know, in case you’ve already reached your wine quota for the day before 6:00 p.m.
