A Night of Art and Wine

With these chilly and snowy evenings, going to a wine bar and experiencing a flight or two of wine sounds like a good idea. Staying close to home and tasting a bit of local culture sounds like the perfect way to celebrate the holidays.

Stop by Salt Creek Wine Bar in downtown Brookfield - the selection of wines is formidable - champagnes as well and a great beer list - while you are relaxing and sipping, stroll around the room and look at the cartoon art of Charley Krebs.

From 2004 to the present, Krebs has been the Chicago Jazz Magazine monthly featured cartoonist.  You may also have seen his work in the Suburban Life from 1976 through 2006. 

Having been invited to show his work in many venues, he also will be displaying his work at Peace Center Berwyn IL with an opening reception on Saturday, December 11 at 7:00 p.m. There will be a question and answer session about cartooning including performances by guitarist Paul Halvey and cartoon-inspired poetry by Steve Cesario.

A perfect way to spend the evening in the western suburbs.  Enjoy the holidays!
