Yuppies Gather, Drink Cheap Wine
By Joseph Avery | Dealer staff writer    Sat, Feb 17, 2007
 

On February 15, 2007, the Contemporary Arts Center hosted the latest wine tasting of the Bacchanalian Society. We attended, and documented our experience with the following series of photographs.

Although there was plenty of parking in the Fountain Square garage, the driver of this Cadillac panicked and took the first available spot.

According to the Bacchanalian Society's website, the $10 entry fee is a "suggested donation." According to the CAC, it is a damned entry fee and you will pay it.

Are we tasting wine, or the blood of lost souls?

We are joined by a character from Wes Anderson's movie The Royal Tenenbaums.

The loneliest Contemporary Arts Center employee of all.

07wine14
Feel free to climb into the art, I guess.

07wine15
I bobbled a bottle and spilled a little wine on this poor woman. Sorry about that.

07wine16
Yum.
