PengWine proud sponsor of Animal Art Show
February 05, 2009
The art show will consist of approximately 20 pieces of artwork painted by the zoo’s talented elephants and orangutans and several authentic animal footprints. To celebrate the event, a wine and cheese reception will be held on opening night with a selection of reserve wine presented by Chilean wine producer PengWine.
Zookeepers will attend opening night to discuss the painting techniques of the animals and how painting is a part of the zoo’s enrichment program to help keep the animals physically and mentally stimulated, and help encourage the animals’ creative side.
PengWine will pour four top reserve wines from the current vintages. All from
- Magellan, a bright, crisp Chardonnay will delight guests with tropical notes in each delicate, refreshing sip.
- Fairy, a small penguin with lots of flair is exemplified in our rose of the same name with a bit of fruit and smooth, dry finish.
- Humboldt penguins enjoy nesting along the central Chilean coast and this red blend enjoys the climate that these birds thrive in. It’s a first class vintage that brings elegance to the art show.
- Gentoo, a Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon blend is a flavorful red that shows off the fruits
All proceeds will help benefit the 2009 combined conferences of AAZK and the International Congress of Zoo Keepers. Art/Not Terminal Gallery has generously waived all commission fees for the show.
