Photo of the Week: Opus One Wine

Dana PhelpsBlog, Photo of the Week, Travel, , , ,

If you ask me where to go to enjoy a glass of wine with friends in Raleigh, that’s a no-brainer. Clairemont client, Vita Vite opened at the end of last year and has quickly become a downtown hot spot. Best place for dinner with wine in Chapel Hill? Oh, pick me! I know that one, too. Il Palio, also a Clairemont client, is the absolute best at pairing regional Italian cooking with wine from Italy’s 20 regions and vintifications produced in every corner of the Italian Peninsula.

Ask me to pick a bottle of wine outside of the doors of these establishments with no expert help from our clients and I might hesitate. However, my recent trip to Napa certainly provided a strong foundation for my wine knowledge. What better place to start than Opus One! I captured this shot during a tour and was intrigued to learn that Opus One hand-harvests and hand-sorts all grapes, and after about a year and a half in these beautiful barrels, the wine is bottled.

Can learning about wine really help me be a better public relations counselor? Many of our clients would say so. Read more about our restaurant PR work, and let me know if you agree.

Photo Of The Week: Vita Vite

At Clairemont, it’s no secret that we love our clients. Meet Lindsay Rice, a new Clairemont client and owner of downtown Raleigh’s Vita Vite. Lindsay is a contemporary travel photographer, wine aficionado and art enthusiast. Her artistic process began as a child learning to value travel and cultural experiences with her family and exploring wines of the world with her mother in more recent years.

Opening soon in the Warehouse District, Vita Vite’s concept is a wine bar and art gallery featuring a variety of 20 carefully selected wines and artwork from 10 local and regional artists. The 5,600 square foot space also includes an event venue that can host intimate groups of up to 80 people. Lindsay’s vision for Vita Vite is a way to blend her two passions – fine art and wine – and create a comfortable space to help people visualize the artwork in their homes while enjoying a glass of wine.

You can like Vita Vite on Facebook to follow the construction progress and stay up to date on the grand opening and special events.
