This month, I had a fabulous time being involved in Pixar's first annual wine event "Vineyards in Brooklyn", which took place on the rooftop terrace of Pixar's new Brooklyn building. The evening was a toast to all the Pixar filmmakers and creative staff for their continuous support to Pixar's Legacy Team: Interactive, Publishing, Consumer Products, Marketing, and more.
A fine selection of wineries and winemakers from Sonoma and Napa Valley shared their reds and whites: Cardinale, Delectus, Etude (best Pinots!), Groth, Gundlach Bundschu, Lasseter Family Winery, Mayro-Murdick, Peju (best Rosé!), Pine Ridge, and Schug. Local chocolatiers provided delectable sweets: Barlovento, Chocolatier Blue (peanut butter & jelly truffles!), Poco Dolce, and Toffee Talk.
To commemorate the evening, I created a paper piece celebrating the spirit of Pixar and the beloved wine country. I presented the original piece to my dear friend, John Lasseter, and shared art prints with all of the participating wineries, chocolatiers, staff, and filmmakers who made the event a success.
Cheers!
