Donatiello Winery will host a casual owner/winemaker tasting with concert guests. Following each of these shows, guests will have the opportunity to meet the musical artists. )

"It stuns me that something so nakedly cruel can also be so captivating, that within a tragedy that still drives some folks mad, Taylor has found beauty, even if it is a very savage beauty."

-Dave Marsh, Playboy

"Otis Taylor is one of the most innovative, thought-provoking blues artists to emerge in the last 20years. Every album he has released has been notable, and that includes "Below the Fold." Taylor's previous records were produced by Kenny Passarelli or Randy Labbe, but this time around he helmed his own session. The added responsibility clearly did not interfere with Taylor's creative muse. Once again, his origional material is filled with dark colors, haunting images and evocative arrangement. Taylor's daughter Cassie plays bass on the disc, and she and her father wrote the fine track "Working for the Pullman Company," on which she also sings. As always, Taylor draws threads of memory together to craft vivid songs that fall across the listener like shadows."
