Annual Capitola Art & Wine Festival rd

A celebration of artistic expression and local winemaking describes the 33rd annual Capitola Art & Wine Festival to be held September 12 and 13 in beautiful Capitola Village By-the-Sea. The quaintness of the Village and the sound of the surf is the backdrop for this wonderful weekend.

The Festival was created in 1982 by the late Carrie Jacobson May, Barbara Reding and Eric Johnson to showcase local artistic talent. Fifty artists participated on the Esplanade that first year in the “Capitola Village Art Festival”. The Capitola Chamber of Commerce became involved the following year in 1983. The late Jay Collins created the first poster, wine tasting was added and the name was changed to the “Capitola Art & Wine Festival.” Artistic talent ranges from exquisite jewelry to metal sculpture for the home, intricate blown glass, handcrafted leather goods and woodwork, water color and oil paintings, photography, and everything in-between; even a local face-painter for the children (or the child within). And for the budding young artists, there is a children’s art area with ongoing projects to entertain the younger set.

33rd Annual Capitola Art & Wine Festival AboutArtist the

This year’s featured poster artist is Maia Negre of Aptos, CA. Working with oil paints, her work captures the ethereal quality and fluidity of the ocean itself, whether she is painting a surf scene, coastal landscape, or abstract floral arrangement. Her painting for the 2015 Capitola Art and Wine Festival depicts a serene overview of our charming Capitola Village and Soquel Creek, from a light and weightless perspective viewing the land, sea, and sky. Maia holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Painting and minor in Business from San Jose State University. In addition to being a full time artist, she also designs and distributes her private line of art products to health foods stores and boutiques throughout the West Coast.

Previous posters by Maia Negre include the Comerica Bank Challenger Tennis Tournament, Women on Waves Surf Festival, and the Sandman Triathlon. Most recently Maia completed a 100-foot long mural, depicting a local beach scene surrounded by thousands of begonia flowers on Wharf Road in Capitola, with fellow artist John Ton. When she’s not painting, you can find her on the tennis court, or surfing in the sea.

Artists John Ton and Maia Negre have finished their second mural along Wharf Road in Capitola. Both provide a unique artist’s view of what makes Capitola special. The first mural was dedicated on November 20, 2010 and the dedication for the second was held March 28, 2015. The cement retaining wall along Wharf road’s descent into Capitola Village with the train trestle and the bluff looming above provide a exceptional artist’s venue for these two works of public art. Maia Negre was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area with a French and Chinese heritage. Maia has been surrounded by the arts her entire life as her parents encouraged her musical education but then Maia discovered her love for visual art and painting at the age of 17. She is now a full time artist and designer residing in Aptos. The mural extension was funded by the City of Capitola’s 2 percent for Art program which helps fund and place public art throughout the City. Photo Credit: Jay Peters

Capitola Art & Wine Festival

offers many flavors to be discovered

The Capitola Art & Wine festival is the perfect venue and opportunity to taste the wide variety of wines produced by our local wineries. For those who take the time to savor them, describing the taste of these wines is a fascinating exercise in getting in touch with your sense of taste and smell. The basic flavors found in food are also discovered in wine. These are sweet (which most wine has), salty (not found in wine, but may influence its flavor), tart (acidic to almost sour), bitter or pungent (gets your attention). In addition the alcohol in wine brings all these taste elements together to form the aromas the unique flavors of wine. The sugar that is present in grapes is converted during fermentation by differing degrees. Sweet white wines are white zinfandel or merlot, many Rieslings, Chenin Blanc and Spumante. Sweet reds include such as Lambrusco and Port. Wines

with very little sweetness are called “dry.” If the dish to be eaten is acidic – citrus or vinegar flavors– then an acidic wine would be appropriate, or a lightly acidic dish can be balanced with a light sweet wine. Examples of acidic white wines are Sauvignon Blanc and most sparkling wines. Acidity in wine dilutes saltiness, so pairing salty foods with sparkling wines works better than the usual red wines. Tannins from the skins and stems of grapes and from oak barrels used for aging cause a bitter or astringent aftertaste in some younger red wines. As tannins mellow with age they are one of the factors that add complexity to a mature wine. Paired with foods that have a salty, tart or bitter taste makes a wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, and Syrah seem sweeter. Alcohol gives wine body. The higher percentage of alcohol, the more full-bodied (13–15 percent alcohol) the wine. Rich meat, fish or chicken dishes that include cream are well suited to full-bodied wines. Low alcohol wines (7–10 percent) pair well with light, simply prepared and flavored dishes.
