Description:
This Wednesday, May 2nd at 7:30 pm there will be a special film screening of Blood Into Wine and wine tasting at the Lyric. There will be selections of glasses of wine available starting at 6 pm.

Music fans know Maynard James Keenan as the frontman of such bands as Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer, but in this documentary filmmakers Christopher Pomerenke and Ryan Page offer a closer look at one of the prolific rocker's more unexpected hobbies--winemaking.

Along with his business partner Eric Glomski, Keenan has managed to transform an arid stretch of Arizona desert into a lush vineyard that yields some particularly tasty grapes. Through unguarded conversations with Keenan and Glomski, Pomerenke and Page discover just what got the pair interested in winemaking, and why they chose such a hostile natural environment to serve as the site of their winery.

The film tickets are available for $5 at the Vintage Cellar and the Lyric and you'll be able to pay by cash for glasses of wine. Hope to see you there!
