Jered's Pottery

Color, fragrance, texture, and taste: many senses are engaged when you enjoy a glass of wine. But have you ever tried listening to a sip of wine? Tuning in to the sounds and whispers of your thoughts and memories, the stories and visions conjured by your imagination? Deliciously original phrases and images await discovery as soon as you expand beyond the familiar vocabulary of oak and tannins, butter and pears.
Join us on July 16 at&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://jeredspottery.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">Jered’s Pottery</a>&nbsp;in Emeryville, where light, color, and craft converge, for this very special evening of tasting and storytelling, to benefit&nbsp;Litquake, San Francisco’s literary festival.
Guided by your hosts,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://grantfaulkner.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">Grant Faulkner</a>&nbsp;(The Art of Brevity) and&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.elizabethrosner.com/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener">Elizabeth Rosner</a>&nbsp;(Third Ear), you’ll embark on an adventurous and playful experience tasting a curated series of&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://saintsbury.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">Saintsbury</a>&nbsp;wines, along with prompts to inspire writing your own 100-word descriptions—or stories, rather, because every sip of wine holds a story. Or a poem. You will come up with your own wine vocabulary, your own wine story, and your words will infuse your senses (while your senses infuse your words) to create a memorable experience—shared with others.<a target="_blank" href="https://donorbox.org/events/931043/steps/choose_tickets" rel="nofollow noopener">Tickets</a> ($40) support Litquake’s mission to connect readers and writers through memorable literary events and experiences. Optional (non–tax deductible) add-ons include the following:
<ul><li>One or two <a target="_blank" href="https://jeredspottery.com/collections/mugs-vups/products/richmond-wine-tumbler" rel="nofollow noopener">Richmond wine tumblers</a>, designed by internationally respected potter Jered Nelson ($45/$80)</li><li>A <a target="_blank" href="https://saintsbury.com/visit-us/" rel="nofollow noopener">Garden Tasting</a>&nbsp;for two ($135 value) at Saintsbury Winery in Napa ($50)</li><li>A 2-pack ($107 value) of <a target="_blank" href="https://saintsbury.com/product/2023-sonoma-coast-pinot-noir-chardonnay" rel="nofollow noopener">Saintsbury Sonoma Coast pinot noir and chardonnay</a>&nbsp;($50)</li><li>A pre-order of books by Elizabeth&nbsp;Rosner and Grant Faulkner ($35; books will also be available for purchase on-site)</li></ul>

The evening will include a wine tasting&nbsp;(with nonalcoholic options available), fun writing&nbsp;activity, and opportunities for storytelling&nbsp;and connection. We'll also have a raffle&nbsp;with fun prizes from our partners, a contest&nbsp;to name Jered's Pottery's newest glaze color, discounts for wines purchased on site, and other surprises!
