On Saturday, May 14, from 6 to 8 PM, the Parrish Art Museum Business Council is hosting Two Forks and a Cork — an evening of local wine and spirits tastings, hors d’oeuvres, live music, and gallery exploration in an ideal setting for socializing and networking.
The event features a selection of white, rosé, and red wines from premiere East End vineyards, flavored moonshine and vodka from a local craft distillery, plus tastings from local artisanal cheese shops and bakeries, caterers, renowned chefs, and popular restaurants. Admission for Two Forks and a Cork, open to attendees 21 and older, is $55 for Parrish members, $75 for non-members.
Guests will enjoy live music throughout the event, as they sample a variety of select wines from Channing Daughters Winery, Kontokosta Winery, Macari Vineyards & Winery, Palmer Vineyards, Paumanok Vineyards, and RG | NY; plus spirits from Twin Stills Moonshine. Wine and spirit producers will be on hand to discuss their processes and products. Special hors d’oeuvres and snacks are provided by A La Mode, Cheese Shoppe, Chef Peter Ambrose, East End Food Institute, Elegant Affairs Caterers, Erica’s Rugelach & Baking Co., and Lunch Lobster Roll.
Guests at Two Forks and a Cork are also invited to visit the museum’s new exhibition, “An Art of Changes: Jasper Johns Prints, 1960 – 2018.” An illuminating survey of the seminal artist’s six-decade printmaking practice with more than 90 works, it follows Johns through the years as he revises and recycles key motifs — including the American flag, numerals, and the alphabet.
