Napa Valley Giveaway Party at CRÚ!

You’re Invited!

  Thursday, May 2nd | 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm

Come find out if you are the winner for the Napa Valley trip for four!

Over the last several months, Crú in the West Village has been collecting entries from ladies who have made it out to their Champagne Charm Thursdays, featuring half priced champagne bubbles. On May 2nd, Crú will host a party where they’ll have a drawing and announce a winner. It will be a festive affair with sparkling wine from Domaine Carneros, passed hors d’oeuvres by Executive Chef Freddy Brooker and loads of excitement as contestants wait in anticipation to find out if they’ve won. And here’s the catch: Contestants (or a representative) must be present to win. In the event that the contestant is not present, another will be chosen. This event is open to all.

 The winner of the drawing will receive a Girls Trip To Napa Valley For Four which includes airfare, lodging in historic St. Helena and VIP wine tastings and tours! Upon arrival in Napa Valley, they will be welcomed with a sparkling wine tasting by the Domaine Carneros Château. Tours and tastings include such illustrious wineries and vineyards as Franciscan, Silver Oak, St. Supery, Mumm Napa, ZD and Opus 1. The itinerary will also include a tour of historic Culinary Institute of America at Greystone as well as a lunch, tour and tasting at Robert Mondavi Winery.

Master Glass Opening Ceremony at Ro2 Art Gallery!

Calling all art-lovers! 

THIS Saturday, June 16^th marks the beginning of Part II: Master Glass Invitational, an exhibition in celebration of the works of Dale Chihuly showcasing 31 nationally known glass artists and emerging talents from Texas- and we couldn’t be happier that it kicks off at our very own Ro2 Art Gallery, right here in West Village! The gallery will be hosting the Opening Reception THIS Saturday, June 16^th from 6:00-9:00 PM, where anyone can mosey on in and visit with the artists, enjoy a glass of wine, and admire some amazing glass work.

In case you haven’t heard of Master Glass 2012, it is a three-part celebration of glass in its many forms by artists from the Dallas area. The 31 artists were all spotlighted at 12 different Dallas galleries during Part I. Now, in Part II, the artists have selected their favorite piece to be displayed at Ro2 Art Gallery. From etched glass and stained glass, to kiln-fired glass and beyond, expect to see unique glass work in all different forms, shapes, and sizes. I even took a sneak peak at the gallery earlier today and let me tell you- prepare to be amazed!

The exhibition is brought together at the height of the glass movement as this year marks the 50^th anniversary of the American Glass Studio Movement that was launched in 1962 in Toledo, Ohio. Previously, glass had not been widely recognized as an actual art form. However, throughout the country people are now beginning to recognize it as a medium, and now Dallas is a part of this national conversation, highlighting local artists from the area. Although the Invitational lasts until July 15^th, the real fun will be THIS Saturday night for the Opening Reception at Ro2 Art Gallery and celebrate it all coming together. See you there!
